The pam_group module is generally regarded as a legacy method for
granting users access to resources at login, because when granted this
way it is very difficult to revoke them afterwards. So the generally
recommended way to grant specific resource access to users at login is
with pam_consolekit or by statically adding the users to the groups you
want them to be in.
Thus, since pam_group use for this is not generally encouraged, we don't
want to provide a pam profile to make it easier for users to enable
pam_group's use. You can always edit your pam config by hand to add the
module if you really need it.
