This is due to us adding pam_kwallet to the configuration so that KDE
could work correctly with LightDM (bug bug 1305307). The warning occurs
in Ubuntu because you don't have pam-kwallet installed and PAM warns if
a module is not found (even if it is marked optional as in this case).
KDE users will have a similar warning about pam_gnome_keyring being
missing.

The only solutions I can think of are:
- Force users to install both libpam-gnome-keyring and pam-kwallet (seems 
excessive)
- Modify PAM not to report the error (but I don't think PAM can really tell if 
we expected the module to not exist).
- Use different PAM configuration for kubuntu/ubuntu (but then you can't log 
into both from the same install).
- ...

Give the warning is harmless I'm not proposing taking any action.
