Dear Maintainer,
after recent upgrade in Mobian testing, I've noticed the following lines
repeated in the journal

ago 02 10:17:33 mobian kscreenlocker_greet[4966]: PAM (kde-smartcard)
/usr/lib/pam.d is not supported on this system; see
/usr/share/doc/libpam0g/Debian-PAM-MiniPolicy.gz
ago 02 10:17:33 mobian kscreenlocker_greet[4966]: PAM (kde)
/usr/lib/pam.d is not supported on this system; see
/usr/share/doc/libpam0g/Debian-PAM-MiniPolicy.gz
ago 02 10:17:33 mobian kscreenlocker_greet[4966]: PAM (kde-fingerprint)
/usr/lib/pam.d is not supported on this system; see
/usr/share/doc/libpam0g/Debian-PAM-MiniPolicy.gz


In the linked file, I see

==================
  PAM Applications
==================

Each application that uses PAM also must contain a file in /etc/pam.d/.


Then it seems like
https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/kde/kscreenlocker/-/blob/master/debian/libkscreenlocker6.install?ref_type=heads#L1
should be fixed to install in /etc/pam.d rather than in /usr/lib/pam.d ... ?

Kind regards
Marco

After some search, I found the root cause of such log line in #1140029 .

Then, it would be ingenerous to say that libkscreenlocker6 must be
"fixed", rather "adapted"...
