When I login after a fresh install of lubuntu maverick beta 1, the encrypted home-folder is not unlocked. The home folder is unlocked only after running ecryptfs-

SRU explanation :
1. This bug impact all users which have an encrypted home, using LXDM to log in, and using Ubuntu 10.10
2. It was fixed by re-adding libpam0g-dev build-depends to re-enable features using PAM headers. It was lost in the merge during the maverick cycle.
3. Debdiff attached.
4. To reproduce, if you have an encrypted home, try log in with LXDM.
5. Regression should be limited, LXDM is designed to work when PAM support is available. Using is without it is more a fallback than a normal behavior. I also test some use cases with could be affected (like using gnome-keyring), and this modification doesn't affect those behaviors. Also, preliminary feedbacks seem positive (see users comments on this bug report).

I think I've found the problem. Apparently, pam support is not enabled in this build. In debian/control, libpam0g is listed as build dependency instead of libpam0g-dev.
