[Xlock-develop] deprecated pam module

Hello,

The pam.d/xlock file in the xlockmore-5.28 tarball contains the line
auth       required	/lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

On a Scientific Linux (RHEL clone) 5.2 system, xlockmore works as 
intended, but every time the screen is unlocked there is a log entry
Deprecated pam_stack module called from service "xlock" .

Apparently the approved format is now
auth       include      system-auth

With that in place, xlock continues to work for me and the log messages 
go away.  Is there any reason not to change the pam.d/xlock file to the 
new, non-deprecated format?
