When you say it's "not for the traditional Ubuntu desktop" do you mean
this PAM module should not be used on Ubuntu desktop? i.e. we need
different configuration for the phone than the desktop?

If we do need different configuration, a possible solution is to have a file /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/80-phone-pam-service.conf:
[SeatDefaults]
pam-service = lightdm-phone

Then have /etc/pam/lightdm-phone containing a different configuration.

Note we don't actually support configurable PAM services but this would
be easy to add.

Title:
  please make use of pam_tally2 for Touch login and screenunlock

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Touch will soon have/now has the ability to set a PIN/password
  for the user. If the password is set, we should provide some
  protection against brute force password guessing since many users will
  choose to use PINs rather than proper passwords. This is required for
  devices for RTM, but not for the traditional Ubuntu desktop.
