I've took a look at the source and decided to throw in some debug messages
to see what's going on.  But when I try to compile it, I get following
error:

  ~/sudo-1.6.8p7 $ debian/rules binary
  [ many lines deleted ... ]
  auth/pam.c:52:32: security/pam_appl.h: File not found

A directory named security don't seem to exist.  Any idea why it is not
there?
