[Bug 1865226] Re: gdm-smartcard pam config needs to be updated for Ubuntu and installed

[Eric Desrochers]

# git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm.git

# find . -name "gdm-smartcard*"
./data/pam-arch/gdm-smartcard.pam
./data/pam-redhat/gdm-smartcard.pam
./data/pam-exherbo/gdm-smartcard.pam
./data/pam-lfs/gdm-smartcard.pam

It seems like Ubuntu/Debian will have to start by having a 'compatible'
PAM stack config.

So far looking upstream, it seems to only be defined for 4 specific distros:
- Archlinux
- Redhat
- Exherbo
- Linux From Scratch (LFS)

Bug description:
  the pam profile for gdm-smartcard is missing. gdm refuses to login
  with a smartcard. Looking at ubuntu/+source/gdm3, other pam files are
  pregenerated into debian/ and installed from there; gdm-smartcard is
  left out.
