Hi team,
During libnsl rebuild heftig pointed out that we are shipping pam_unix2 that has been dead upstream for a long time (to the point that it's being built from our own mirror now). I'm also unwilling to spend time to fix its configure.ac to make it build with libnsl and libtirpc correctly.
Unless someone's life depends on it, I'd like to drop it from repositories.

(Note it's not packaged separately and ships as part of core/pam.)
While on it, I'm dropping pam_unix_{acct,auth_passwd,session}.so symlinks from pam package that are also relics of the distant past.

This reminds me we also have a request to drop pam_tally in our default config, in favor of pam_tally2. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42120 -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
