I do not use pam_umask , but:

(1) /usr/share/doc/libpam-umask/README says:

If a user has a .pam_umask
in his home directory, the contents will be used to set the umask.

(2) Linkname: pam_umask(8) - Linux man page

URL: http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam_umask says

The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the following places in the following order:

umask= argument
umask= entry of the users GECOS field
pri= entry of the users GECOS field
ulimit= entry of the users GECOS field
UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs

It also speaks about a debug option.

Do you need help?

Looking at the sources (apt-get source libpam-umask), I dubt that the man page applies to the debian version of libpam-umask, but a look at the above files (/etc/passwd) might be worthy.

(3) perhaps a

# strace -f -o /tmp/login.strace.log login -f user

might help
