Just because it hadn't been enabled historically.

It will be from jessie on:

| ngircd (21.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
| 
|   * Build ngircd with support for ident (enabled by default) and
|     PAM (disabled)
(...)

Where "disabled" means "PAM = no" in the shipped configuration.

This however does not justify a new release in stable aka wheezy.
If the matter is urgent, re-build with updated debian/rules or do a
backport.
