Ok, "Only if the program doesn't support a site-wide default configuration
and the package maintainer doesn't have time to add it should a default
per-user file be placed in /etc/skel."
In this case, /etc/profile *may* be used (by checking whether $SHELL is
/bin/bash). Moreover, policy says:
Ideally the sysadmin should not have to do any configuration other
than that done (semi-)automatically by the postinst script.
Well, I'm sure than 99% of people dislike current default bash prompt in
/etc/profile. At least we could put the current dir, and maybe that 99%
would decrease a lot.
