I don't think so because this is for your user and not for some user
installed by the package. Here is the beginning of that section.


The default limits set in login.conf(5) are not high enough to properly run
GNOME. The default "datasize" must be bumped. There are several ways to do this:

- bump the "default" class "datasize-cur" to 1024M (*not* recommended)
- add users to the "staff" class (*not* recommended)
- create a "gnome" login class and add users to it (recommended, see below)
