Exactly. I'd vote for not "suggesting" ppp-pam, but to mention it in the
package description. For example:
``If you want to set up a PPP dial-in server, you should also
have a look at the PAM based PPP daemon included in the ppp-pam
package, as it includes a more general way to specify your local
security policies.''
(Some native englisch speaker should improve this, of course :-)
