Hi,

my old NMU adding a postinst script was still on mentors.d.n and it was
uploaded today. Now I have looked a bit more into the implications of
libcap2-bin not depending on libpam-cap.

The binaries in libcap2-bin don't depend on libpam-cap.

I found the following reverse dependencies of libcap2-bin in Wheezy:

  wireshark-common
  lxc
  i3status
  gnome-keyring

After a look at their source packages, I found that they all use
binaries from libcap2-bin, but no evidence for a dependency on the PAM
module.

So it looks like this doesn't break other packages, but someone who has
installed libcap2-bin for the PAM module might miss it after the
upgrade. If someone considers this a bug, I suggest filing a new one,
because it's not about leaving broken configuration behind anymore.

Best regards,
Tobias Hansen
