I tend to agree; let's change existing practice when new and better
practice is *in place* and working. I would not object to see
libpam-umask in base, but I don't think it's going to happen "just
like that".

Maybe we should start small and add comments for now?

Proof incomplete... log in via SSH into a zsh shell and no umask
setting will take effect.
