[Bug 1268373] [NEW] pam_limits.so removed from /etc/pam.d/sudo in Precise

[Matt]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

In the /etc/pam.d/sudo file installed by this package, pam_limits.so is
no longer included in Precise.

It was present in /etc/pam.d/sudo in Lucid:

root at vm:~# grep pam_limits.so ./etc/pam.d/sudo
session required pam_limits.so

In Precise, the file looks like:

root at vm:~# cat ./etc/pam.d/sudo
#%PAM-1.0

@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-session-noninteractive
root at vm:~#

The changelog for the sudo package mentions the addition of common-
session-noninteractive, but doesn't mention why pam_limits.so was
removed; pam_limits.so is not included in common-session-noninteractive
either:
