Even without pam_umask, the login.defs setting would only affect
console logins, unless bash was used, which overrides them. zsh, for
instance, does not specify a umask, so it gets 022 by default, and
login.defs' value on the console. With the existence of all these
corner cases, I would say: remove, and add a comment to refer people
to /etc/profile (or equivalent) and libpam-umask.
