Title:
  pam_env should document per-user environment file ~/.pam_environment
  more clearly

Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  pam_env reads /etc/environment. An alternate file which is parsed
  after /etc/environment should be possible: ~/.environment. This would
  follow the exact same rules as /etc/environment. Functionally it would
  be as if it was concatinated to /etc/environment.

  This would require pam_env to be in the PAM stack at a point suitable
  for ~ to be available. Which seems doable to me.
