Bug#474291: /etc/pam.d*: please use include instead of @include or document @include

2009-09-12 Thread Steve Langasek
Sam, Kees,

Given that upstream supports a syntax that does satisfy our needs, should we
switch the recommendation to 'include' instead of '@include' after all, so
we can deprecate @include and eventually drop one of the patches in our
delta with upstream?  The last time I spoke with upstream about this one,
the conclusion was that only one syntax was needed and Debian should switch
to the one upstream implements.

This would obviously be a long transition, since we will need to coordinate
with all packages shipping /etc/pam.d/ files, but it would be
straightforward... and I can't see any compelling reason to continue to use
a syntax that differs from upstream's.

It is not.

That is a bug that should be fixed.

Yes, though I see no reason to use the 'include' syntaxt instead of
@include.

I won't be doing the latter, no.

  I was told that @include directive is equivalent to
a plain include directive. I can't find the
documentation for @include. Can one use both @include
and include at the same time? Please document @include
or better, in my opinion, replace it with plain
include.
