Probably wouldn't work, given that /etc/skel/.bash_profile contains
the line

umask 022

on a default Debian install.  Most likely, all the users were created
with that setting, so /etc/profile wouldn't do any good.

Side question:  Why does the default Debian configuration give every
user their own group, then give them a default .bash_profile that
sets umask to 022?  Seems to defeat the purpose of per-user groups...
