You are correct - according to PECL PAM documentation, extension is  
labeled as 'pam_auth'.

In this commit:

commit 58d5bf8d27d33133948ae2533393e7c689b74a98

     Changes to work with debian/ubuntu based php-pam auth libraries

The extension check was changed from 'pam_auth' to 'pam'.  Mike R. is  
probably the one to ask as to why this change was necessary.   
Wondering if we could change to:

if (!Horde_Util::extensionExists('pam') ||  
!Horde_Util::extensionExists('pam_auth')) {

without breaking Debian packages.
