Yes.  You are correct to say that pam_mount /should/ perform its operations 
using PAM's session interface instead of auth.  However, the PAM shipped by the 
Debian project disallows one from quereying a user's password using the session 
interface.  Only the auth-related functions may retrieve a user's password.

This is why pam_mount using PAM's auth interface.

Red Hat's PAM distributions allows password access through its session 
interface.  Why doesn't Debian's?

I would like to fix this.
