After a bit more reading-up I see most of this should be possible by
simply updating the default configuration in /etc/pam.d
The delay can be removed by adding parameter to common-auth's pam_unix,
and the counting by using pam_tally. I can't figure out how to add a
growing timeout; perhaps a new module is needed, that might need a new
module.
I'm moving this to pam-runtime, as it's a PAM configuration issue rather
than a sudo problem. I see pam-runtime owns /etc/pam.d/other, but I
can't figure out which package owns the /etc/pam.d/common-* files; pam-
runtime has them listed in /usr/share/pam, but I don't know how they get
into /etc/pam.d. Please leave a note if you know.
