Thank you. As mentioned, I find the choice of using "sufficient" instead
of "optional" questionable (though I might have overlooked a reason for
it). It forces the PAM scripts to exit without 0 unlike the previous
version, and makes it very easy to open a large security hole for people
who will reuse their existing PAM scripts, or take them from the web, or
who simply haven't paid attention to the postinst added config line.

Unless there's a very good reason for it, I would suggest the postinst
script to default to the traditional "optional" argument as a more
secure choice. The choice is yours, obviously.
