You missed pam_ssh. And that's just an example.
By the way... mind telling everyone here how did you do that search? I still 
feel that looking for pam things in a *single* place is more useful than 
looking in many different places.

If you feel that sys-auth is more logical, seems good to me. I haven't said 
that it *must* be sys-pam.. was a proposal and as proposal is something I'd 
like to discuss.

For my gain? Wait I was talking of me in this case but it's not just me.
I think everyone which is looking for pam modules would like to search 
something like sys-pam, instead of looking here and there on the tree or 
trying to use some strange black-magic queries.
By the way, if you're looking for pam modules, your results are quite full of 
cruft.

Currently sys-libs contains a very wide range of things, just a couple of them 
seems to be strictly related. As I said, if you feel sys-auth is better, 
good. That would probably take also other things like courier-authlib for 
example.
But sys-libs doesn't seem the right place for me.
