[VERIFICATION BIONIC]
It has been brought to my attention the following (by an impacted user):

I have enabled the "-proposed" pocket and done the following:
1) Logged into workstation, elevated to root
2) Installed packages from "-proposed": libpam0g libpam-modules libpam-modules-bin libpam-runtime
3) Updated /etc/pam.d/common-session and common-session-interactive
4) Started a second session as a regular user and performed a number of console commands, then exited session
5) From the first (root) session, executed "aureport --tty -i".
- The output of the audit report looks good.

If I attempt to perform the same test on another workstation, using the original libpam packages (e.g. skipping step 2) then the test fails at step 4, as the user cannot login. In the logs PAM complains about an invalid parameter on the pam_tty_audit.so line (enable=*).
