Where does that file come from, then?
This file contains the following:
# As of pam 1.0.1-6, this file is managed by pam-auth-update by default.
The tool has a brief man page. Files in pam.d need update when packages
with pam modules are installed or removed. It seems similar to some
other config file only a part of it is managed by a tool.
Taking into account a number of bugs, perhaps it is not really bad that
recipes how to change umask are not easily available. Documentation
should be extensive enough to describe possible pitfalls.
