We decided to remove the authd package in noble for the time being.
The current implementation (in particular the one in the PAM module) is
not up to our standard in terms of quality and what we are confortable
to support in the long term. Rather than releasing as is and having
risky SRUs in the future changing a large part of the implementation, we
decided against this and rather polishing the code, securing it, adding
even more tests and releasing all that as a new package SRUed to the
24.04 LTS in the coming months.
That way, we won’t risk to regress any potential users and we will use an
architecture we are more confortable supporting for the next 5/10 years of the
LTS release.
It means that when we reintroduce it, we will rerequest a new MIR too as the
PAM module will largely change and we want to ensure we follow the process and
quality standard we expect for the Ubuntu distribution.

Title:
[FFe] Update authd to current version
Status in authd package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Authd is a new package in noble, in universe.
This package is not shipped by default, we made many improvements and
fixes in the current version. We don’t plan to seed it this release,
despite the MIR being approved.
Update contains a lot of vendoring updates, and code changes (using a
C wrapper to wrap around the Go code in the PAM module to fix some
instability), multiple thousands of line due to the C wrapper in
particular. The diff itself will not be meaningful.
Part of meaningful fixes are the default group being added and ssh
precheck API. Full changelog is available at
https://github.com/ubuntu/authd/pull/237/files.
It also fixes a vulnerability by depending on latest Go and latest
x/net/http.
This is the code level we are testing and relying on.
