It doesn't matter what you want or what you think, it's deprecated. You
can continue using it until your distro drops it if you want. It makes
no difference.

Since you are on Ubuntu, when you upgrade to Dapper, you do NOT need
realtime-lsm anymore.

In the meantime, on debian and Ubuntu Breezy, PAM is not "delicate" - in
fact is it very simple to patch PAM for rlimits support.
