Spent like 2 hours trying to figure out why my MOTD (via update-motd.d) wasn't showing up when using SSH. Turns out there's a bug in Debian 13 where the 'remote' pam service configuration is missing. My SSH connection was over tailscale, and tailscale execs `login -h` which uses the 'remote' service instead of 'login'. The default pam configuration is empty so `pam_motd.so` is never invoked.

References for the curious:

- https://bugs-devel.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1103923

That's enough computer for today, I think.

Bad news: I accidentally broke creating sdists with maturin
Good news: It wasn't entirely my fault and I figured out a fix

It was partially caused by a bug in the CPython `tarfile` module!
