It sounded like you were proposing that pam detect if systemd was pid1
and if so, then do what it does today otherwise inherit limits by
default.

Assuming the PAM maintainer wants to support alternative init systems in
a context bigger than development, that sounds like a fine option.
Detecting whether pid1 is systemd might be tricky for pam; I haven't
thought about what that does for (build) dependencies, but we could
figure something out.

However, this change seems too late for bullseye given where we are in
the freeze.
