Package: libpam-gnome-keyring
Version: 2.26.1-1
Severity: important

In current state libpam-gnome-keyring can unlock gnome-keyring only on password authentication.
This is completly wrong since there might be other authenticatoin mechanisms such as

 * USB dongle authentication
 * Finger print authentication
 * Smart card authentication
 * Bluetooth authentication by proximity of mobile phone
 * Other that can be implemented...

libpam-gnome-keyring should respect other mechanisms and unlock database if previous module succeded.
