I think there is a open bug report about changing this to use
pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.

The problem with pam_mkhomedir is that it runs under the context of the
login programs, which requires us to give all login programs the ability
to manage all content within the users homedir.  We are trying to
confine apps like sshd/xdm/rlogind from this access, to prevent flaws
that could reveal data in the homedir without have a login password.
