Please do not do that.  You can introduce such incompatibilities in a major
Fedora release, but it is not at all proper to just break the system of someone
who does the prudent thing and lets their system update automatically.  This
goes doubly for a system that they might need to use to actually log into the
system.

Honestly I wouldn't even try to introduce this package into Fedora 8, because a
user who hasd pam_usb installed and upgraded from F7 to F8 still has 0.3.3
installed.  I would put the new package into rawhide and make sure that the
release notes indicate the procedure which pam_usb users will need to go through
to update things properly.
