[Bug 1611816] [NEW] pam_cifscreds.so not supplied in package

[David McBride]

Public bug reported:

The cifs-utils source package contains the pam_cifscreds.so PAM module;
however, this is not built and supplied in a resulting binary package.
This is necessary functionality for our local managed deployment.

We have worked around this issue by building our own patched version of
the package; however, this is liable to be clobbered by any future
upstream updates. Hence, it would be valuable if our modifications, or
some variant of them, could be adopted upstream.

The changes required are minimal; simply add libpam0g-dev to Build-
Depends, and add some appropriate flags to ./configure in debian/rules
to ensure the requisite library is built and installed in the correct
location.

See attached patch.

** Affects: cifs-utils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
