FS#98 - [pam] pam_unix2 is orphaned and dead upstream

pam_unix2 was removed from Debian Jessie because it’s buggy and unmaintained [0]

It’s included inside pam package and should be removed since it doesn’t comes from official source. Also the original upstream FTP directory (ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/kukuk/pam/pam_unix2) has disappeared.
