Package: libpam-passwdqc
Version: 0.7.5-1
Severity: normal

the documentation for parameter N2 in the list of minum allowed password
lengths asserts:

        "N2 is used for passphrases.  A passphrase must consist of
        sufficient words (see the "passphrase" option below)."
                   ^^^^^
that's misleading or wrong!

well -- the min. number of WORDS within a passphrase is only defined by the
'passphrase' argument described a few lines later... but N2 at the scope of
this paragraph belongs to the min. length in LETTERS of such a passphrase and
nothing else!

please correct:

/usr/share/doc/libpam-passwdqc/README.gz 
/usr/share/man/man8/pam_passwdqc.8.gz

and btw.: 

IMHO it would be a very usefull to include a simple example how to stack
passwdqc.so and pam_unix.so within /etc/pam.d/common-passwd in this
documentation, too.
