As of version 1.1.2-2ubuntu4 in natty, libpam now looks in (and installs its own modules to) /lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/security before /lib/security. This means that it is now possible to correctly install 32-bit and 64-bit pam modules side-by-side on an Ubuntu system.

Note however that the /lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) path is reserved for native packages of that architecture; ia32-libs is NOT allowed to package libpam-modules and ship its contents in /lib/i386-linux-gnu/security. Users who need this can:

 - wait for multiarch support to be ready for use,
 - manually copy the 32-bit modules they need from ia32-libs to the /lib/i386-linux-gnu/security directory, or
 - continue to use one of the workarounds mentioned in this bug.
