/home/phablet/.pam_environment does not get updated on OTA upgrades

[Oliver Grawert]

starting my phone set to german language the lock screen properly shows a 24h clock ...

as aoon as the panel clock shows up, the lockscreen format (and all other places where the time is shown in the UI) is swithcing to AM/PM 12h time format.

obviously going to the settings app, switching my language setting back and forth and rebooting fixes it. my clock is now properly staying at 24h time.

seemingly we now set more variables in /home/phablet/.pam_environment than we did at the time i was firstly setting up the image.
during OTA upgrade the new settings were not updated inside this config file so that parts of my settings flipped back to english.

to handle this case in the future (we might have other cases where pam settings of a user need upgrading even on released images) the session-migration tool should get a backend to handle this.

i am turning this into a wishlist bug against session-migration, the indicator task is solved.

as discussed with Ogra on IRC, this should be a pam migration script itself, not session-migration but using session-migration.

however, there is another bug needed to hook session-migration into upstart so that session-migration works

The pam package never modifies ~/.pam_environment, and never should. I don't know what package should own this, but it's not pam.

closing, that's an old bug and we are not going to handle migration from those versions
