Bug Description
pam_env reads /etc/environment. An alternate file which is parsed after /etc/environment should be possible: ~/.environment. This would follow the exact same rules as /etc/environment. Functionally it would be as if it was concatinated to /etc/environment.
This would require pam_env to be in the PAM stack at a point suitable for ~ to be available. Which seems doable to me.

Adding this ability to pam_env would allow #64064 to be implemented properly, on a per-user basis.
