This commit is far too complicated to not have any commit log, and I
believe it would benefit from being split in several smaller commits,
such as (an example, other splits might make more sense) :

 * Adding the host-linux-pam variant

 * Adding the optional selinux and audit dependencies

 * Adding the pam.d mess-up logic.

What is lckpwdf ? What are you adding a reference to it here?

Maybe put it next to --disable-db, instead of in the middle of the
directory related options.

Do we need this new host-linux-pam dependency in all situations? We
only need it when this new system-auth.pam file needs to be used. It
used to work just fine until now without that. Can you comment as to
what you're trying to achieve with this system-auth.pam file, and in
which situations do we need it vs. not need it ?

Indentation is wrong: we don't indent such lines (I know some packages
do not respect this, but we should fix them).

Why do you have all those lines in a single shell command? I don't
really see the reason. Something like:

	if [ -d $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d/ ]; then \
		mv $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d/ $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d.orig/; \
	fi
	cd $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/ && cat $(@D)/conf/pam.conf | $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/pam_conv1
	if [ -d $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d.orig ]; then \
		cp -a $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d/* $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d.orig/; \
		rm -rf $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d/; \
		mv $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d.orig/ $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d/; \
	fi
	$(INSTALL) -D -m 0644 package/linux-pam/system-auth.pamd $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/pam.d/system-auth

Should work just as well.

However, I don't quite understand what is happening here. What is
installed in /etc/pam.d/ before linux-pam gets installed? Maybe
nothing, in which case we could avoid the pam.d.orig dance altogether ?

In any case, this needs a better comment above it to explain what's
going on. And you are doing all this unconditionally, regardless of
whether SELinux support is used or not, which seems a bit weird.

--disable-rpath should be on the next line.

Use one tab for indentation.

-D + full path for the destination.
