Yes but it also shows that pam-python is not really a replacement for 
python-pam.
So I am resetting the severity.

This will have no effect. python-pam is a key package and so won't be
removed automatically from bookworm because of this bug.

Also:

$ dak rm -Rn -s testing python-pam
Will remove the following packages from testing:

python-pam |   0.4.2-16 | source
python3-pam |   0.4.2-16 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, mipsel, 
ppc64el, s390x

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Build-Depends:
pam-python: python3-pam

Dependency problem found.


This seems like it would be easy enough to fix.
