I have on a number of occasions used these man pages, and having them
installed locally is very helpful.  I would rather have the man pages
installed without the additional documentation in libpam-doc.  Why not
(other than a trip through NEW) put them in a new binary package
libpam-manpages (arch:all)?  I would prefer recommends rather than
suggests.
