[Bug 1843886] [NEW] pam_env.so does not recursively read /etc/environment.d

[Thomas Schweikle]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu creates /etc/environment and directory /etc/environment.d.

pam_env.so only reads /etc/environment, but not recursively
/etc/environment.d/

You'll have to add any files created within /etc/environment.d/ as an
additional line to your pam_env.so pam configuration. This is not stated
anywhere and not documented accordingly.
