Maybe I'm just oldskool: I installed my main Debian machine several
years ago (I guess 7 or 8) and never reinstalled it, I only did
upgrades.

Yes, that's true. But while relatime-lsm may be deprecated, it still
is supported in 2.6.16 and so the pressure on distros isn't that high.
OTOH even the official PAM only recently (0.80?) included the rlimits
module.

Btw: I just built and installed the latest Debian testing
libpam-modules sources (0.79-3) after applying the patch from
ubuntustudio. There was a harmless reject when patching which only
affected the README. During short testing (logging out and in,
starting jackd -R) it looks like it works okay.

Ciao
