When did it get put in (and more importantly, why?) I remember having a
version without it.
Hmmm, maybe it was an upstream thing. /usr/doc/bash/changelog.Debian.gz
says:
bash (2.01.1-3) unstable frozen; urgency=medium
* libreadline 2.1-10
* Make libreadlineg2's postinst a c program, like libreadline2.
* Check return code from tempfile in bashbug, closes: #22349.
* glibc 2.1 patch, closes #22532.
* remove . from /etc/profile PATH, closes #22738.
Somehow my copy didn't get updated with this change.
