So i'm just going to add on here instead of opening a new bug report.
The problem is that in most cases when you're setting the limits, you're
doing so for a process/user that isn't going to login. So the default is
to set it in login, cron, sshd, su etc. Unfortunately, for a process
that isn't going to login via normal methods. Such as a server process
or the like this will be ignored because pam_limits.so will never be
activated.

We need to put pam_limits.so in /etc/pam.d/common-session and /etc/pam.d
/common-session-noninteractive as required by default, or, update the
documentation somewhere that notes that limits.conf will not be
activated by pam_limits.so otherwise. Since everything is already
commented out by limits.conf per default it should be a straight-forward
change.
