Thanks. What needs to be done to have it adopted?

Yes, it does. This is a slight problem: it would be nice if there were a
way to say "this session module should apply to all services", but I don't
think there's any way to do that in PAM. It could be done in either
libpam or a Debian script that generates the files, but it's not strictly
needed.
For the time being I suppose it could just be applied to the services for
which it is most relevant: login, ssh, gdm, kdm, xdm, etc.
