I've discussed this with the original maintainer and he pointed me at a caveat
in the pam_keyinit documentation:

"This module should not, generally, be invoked by programs like su, since it is
usually desirable for the key set to percolate through to the alternate
context. The keys have their own permissions system to manage this."

So, as pam installs the "common-session" script and util-linux installs
/etc/pam.d/su, which includes "common-session", it would not be wise to include
pam_keyinit.so there.
