Bug#62948: PROPOSAL] /etc/profile is now in base-files



Hi,

        Actually, this is a factual error in policy, and as such,
 should not need to go through a discussion and consensus: when we
 unstymie the the policy process this should just be changed to
 reflect reality.

 The three questions of greatest concern are -- 1. Is it attractive?
 Is it amusing?  3. Does it know its place? Fran Lebowitz,
