Public bug reported:

Regression of bug #952185.

Variables in ~/.pam_environment are not applied when I start my computer
and login. When I then re-login, they _are_ applied.

I have manually copied my ~/.pam_environment to the original, non-
ecryptfs-mounted ~/ and then the file is always applied.

After #952185, the fix seems to have been to change debian/*.pam to run
pam_env after common-session. But I don't understand why the line in
common-auth isn't enough to mount ecryptfs. Perhaps pam_ecryptfs.so only
does the unmounting in the session phase.

Ubuntu 17.10, gdm3 3.26.1-3ubuntu3
