$ su -
# cd /usr/bin
# dpkg-divert --divert es.real --rename es
# ls es*
# cat >es; chmod 755 es
#!/bin/sh
# run /etc/profile if login shell
case "$0" in -*) . /etc/profile;; esac
exec /usr/bin/es.real "$@"
^D
# ^D

There you go: es now respects /etc/profile.

[Ok, I should test this to make sure I didn't make any silly mistakes,
but I'm just trying to show you an approach, not make my system behave
this way.]
