pam_consolekit is no longer a thing. What's the modern solution now?

Title:
  pam-auth-update profile for pam-group missing

Status in pam package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libpam-runtime

  There is no pam-auth-update profile for pam_group.so

  This makes it very difficult to actually make use of pam_group.so
  because even if I add it to /etc/pam.d/common-auth I cannot make use
  of pam-auth-update any more. This means that instead of relying on
  pam-auth-update to manage my PAM stack I will have to do it all
  manually once I start using pam_group.so

  IMHO pam-auth-update is a great invention and I hope that it will soon
  become the standard tool for this task. However, a logical consequence
  of inventing pam-auth-update is in my opinion to supply profiles for
  common PAM modules.

  I therefore would like to suggest to break out pam_group.so from
  libpam-runtime into a package of its own (libpam-group) which would
  bring the PAM module and the corresponding pam-auth-update profile.

  A user wishing to use pam_group.so would then be able to simply
  install libpam-group and have the pam_group.so module enabled
  automatically through pam-auth-update in the postinst script of
  libpam-group.
