man bash tells you:

.bashrc is executed when a non-login shell is started.

.profile is executed when a login shell is started AND .bash_profile
doesn't exist.

So guess where you have to look? ;-)

Usually, one makes .bash_profile run .bashrc also. There's example code
how to do that in the default .bash_profile that Debian installs. (Look in
/etc/skel/.bash_profile.)
