Right, I don't think we want to enable pam_tally2 on desktop at this
time. We may want to as we move towards converged and people are using
PINs as passwords. Your branch seems to handle this very well. lightdm
can remain unchanged (except for this patch) on the desktop, and the
ubuntu-touch-session package can ship the necessary files to incorporate
pam_tally2.

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.
