I'm not sure but it seems that libpam-gnome-keyring package is what you
are looking for:

    Package: libpam-gnome-keyring
    [...]
    Description: PAM module to unlock the GNOME keyring upon login
     gnome-keyring is a daemon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and
     other applications can use it to store passwords and other
     sensitive information.

     This package contains a PAM module that will automatically unlock
     the keyrings using your login password, making gnome-keyring usage
     transparent without losing its security benefits.

     When installed, this module will automatically be used by GDM and
     gnome-screensaver to unlock your keyrings when logging in and when
     unlocking the screen saver.
