potato change?: /etc/environment not sources for root?

[Daniel Barclay <dsb@smart.net>]

Was there a change between slink and potato such that 
/etc/environment is not sourced for root as is still is
for regular users?  (I'm using PAM on potato.)

If so, what's the right way (the PAM configuration way) to 
have the system source /etc/environment for root too.


Also, what's the exact for syntax /etc/environment?
("man environment" yields nothing.  Which documentation
specifies /etc/environment?)


Thanks,

Daniel
