Does this package *really* need to exist, especially since it has an RC bug?

Why can't we just have something like:

if [ "$PS1" ]; then

# ...

    function set_title() {
      if [ x$1 != x--keep ]; then
        SET_TITLE_EXTRA="$@"
      fi
      if [ -z "$SET_TITLE_EXTRA" ]; then
        NAME="$USER@$HOSTNAME:$PWD"
      else
        NAME="$USER@$HOSTNAME:$PWD ($SET_TITLE_EXTRA)"
      fi
      echo -n 
    }

    case $TERM in
    xterm*)
        PROMPT_COMMAND='set_title --keep'
        ;;
    *)
        ;;
    esac
fi

commented out in the /etc/skel/.bashrc or even /etc/bash.bashrc?

All the best,
Pete
