I think it makes sense to group directives by type (auth or session for example) in the gdm and other configs; the issue is a consequence of the fact that common-pammount is a single file, would it be two files e.g. pammount-auth and pammount-session, we wouldn't be discussing this.

So while I could shuffle lines around in the gdm PAM configs, I think we should avoid it as:
- it would cause a conffile prompt for all systems where the gdm config was touched, probably more systems than systems with pammount
- it would be less readable than the current one

If this makes sense, then perhaps you should request that common-pammount be split in two files; on your side, you could simply copy-paste its contents in the proper place of the gdm PAM config in the mean time.

What do you think?
