Summary:                    Linux_PAM - optional depends on db - NOT RECOMMENDED
Description: 
I just noticed when updating one box that Linux_PAM-0.99.7.1 has
an optional depends on db that is NOT RECOMMENDED, and yet the
default action is to install it. I have unwittingly already done
this on another box by just running lunar update overnight.

If something is not recommended, the default action should be
to *not* do it, so the user has to make a conscious effort if s/he
really wants to screw things up...

This is not a Linux-PAM bug. It's all about how lunar/theedge handle
optional_depends. If an optional_depends is installed lunar/theedge will
automaticly default to "y". I'd say this is a feature request to allow
passing default answer to optional_depends :)
