The file names do, but the package names almost always start with
"libpam-".  (Also, Debian package names may not contain "_".)

  $ apt-file search security/pam_ | grep -v libpam-modules | grep --count ^libpam-
  68
  $ apt-file search security/pam_ | grep -v libpam-modules | grep --count ^pam-
  1

And the Debian PAM mini-policy says:

  1) Packages should use the naming scheme of `libpam-<name>' (eg.
  libpam-ldap).
