Bug#923312: closed by Michael Biebl <biebl at debian.org> (Re: gnome-terminal ignores system ulimits)

[Harald Dunkel]

This is weird, because gdm3 (the display manager required by gnome-core,
which is required by gnome-terminal) depends upon libpam-modules, and this
package owns /etc/security.

If I got this correctly, the real problem is that systemd ignores the
ulimits set via pam.

Sorry to say, but it doesn't seem that clean to me.
