# pam-auth-update --remove removes the named profile from the active config.
# It arguably should be called during deconfigure as well, but deconfigure
# can happen in some cases during a dist-upgrade and we don't want to
# deconfigure all PAM modules in the middle of a dist-upgrade by accident.
#
# More importantly, with the current implementation, --remove also removes
# all local preferences for the named config (such as whether it's enabled
# or disabled), which we don't want to do on deconfigure.
#
# This may need to change later as pam-auth-update evolves.
