--- Comment #1 from Lexi Winter <ivy@FreeBSD.org> ---
FreeBSD-ssh doesn't require PAM.  an obvious example of this would be if you're
only using the client, but that would also be the case if UsePAM is set to no,
which might be appropriate in some embedded environments.

for a normal sshd setup on a multi-user system, FreeBSD-pam is already part of
FreeBSD-set-minimal(-jail), so it will always be installed.

this only affects people who don't want to use package sets because they have
specific requirements for what packages are installed; for those people, adding
a dependency on FreeBSD-pam would install unnecessary additional packages in
the case where PAM isn't used, which is unhelpful for space-constrained
environments.

so, i'm not inclined to change this.

(bug 296383 is not related, that's a pkg(8) bug.)
