Yes, unfortunately the capabilities *have* to be configured as modules.
In the long term this means that realtime-lsm will disappear.

The real error is that capabilities are not configured as a module.
It doesn't tell the workaround, which is to compile a costumized kernel.

right, it should tell to use a costum kernel, by chance this is also
the solution the bug reporter suggested. Finally, the problem definitely
comes from realtime-lsm, but there is nothing I can do to really fix it,
I just can make it clearer that realtime lsm doesnt work anymore with
the Debian kernel.

This is not as bad as it seems, as there is a very good replacement for it,
we just have to wait until the pam system gets updated, then I will 
request the removal or realtime-lsm
