Yes, the purpose of the 'winbind' package is to provide integration with a Windows domain or AD realm; that extends to enabling pam_winbind by default now that this is supported.

Of course, any problems this causes for you being able to use your local system accounts is a bug.

BTW, the idiomatic way to change this is by running 'sudo pam-auth-update' instead - shorter to type :)
