AFAIK, RPMs look for RPM database for the existing files on the system. I
think your file was not generated by any RPM, so our RPM wanted to
replace it.
I can't see any problems with adding
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
to our postgresql.pam file. If noone objects, we may release a new
subversion of 8.0.4 with this fix (and elog patch of Tom).
