Package: debootstrap
Version: 1.0.123
Severity: normal

I am not sure if this is bug more for debootstrap or some other package
(base-files?), but:

I think ~/.local/bin should be added to default non-root PATH.
I belive Fedora and Ubuntu already does that.

I think adding it to /etc/profile.d or /etc/skel could be a good option.

Reasoning, one of the good reasons is to have some user-controllable
directory in the PATH by default, to add custom scripts and overrides.
The power of defaults (and consistent with other distros) is big one.

Another good example is `pip3 --user install`, which will often install
binaries (or symlinks to them) in ~/.local/bin/.

There are more examples doing similar.

Please reassign to base-files or bash if appropiate.

Regards,
Witold

This sounds like #839155 in bash, fixed in 2018.
