Manpage for pam_env has mention of $HOME/.pam_environment in FILES
section. Your version looks more verbose. If you think it is better, can
you please adapt it to the current version and we can try to go through
sponsoring process. If not, I think, the bug should be closed now.

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

Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
