Package: login
Version: 1:4.0.3-31sarge1
Priority: important

/etc/pam.d/login does not have the pam_limit module enabled:

# Sets up user limits, please uncomment and read /etc/security/limits.conf
# to enable this functionality.
# (Replaces the use of /etc/limits in old login)
# session    required   pam_limits.so

However other pam.d configuration files for common stuff (gdm, ssh, xdm and 
suexec) enable it by default.

Is there any reason why that pam module is not enabled by default. That 
seems to be another hurdle in admin's way when he wants to configure 
user limits as he needs to modify both /etc/security/limits.conf and then 
/etc/pam.d/login with no indication in either limits.conf nor 
/etc/security/limits.conf that this module is not enabled per default in 
'login'.
