First, no, the code which tries to access /etc/default/locale is not in pam. 
This is configured in the individual, per-package PAM config files in
/etc/pam.d/, which are not the responsibility of the pam package.

Second, /etc/default/locale is not obsolete, it is the central location
where the system locale is to be configured on Debian systems.  I'm not sure
what localization-config's involvement here is, but if it's responsible for
/etc/default/locale being absent on a newly-installed system, then that's a
bug in localization-config.

But probably it isn't; it's my understanding that /etc/default/locale is the
responsibility of the installer, so subject to confirmation by the
localization-config maintainer, this bug probably needs to be reassigned
again or closed.
