As far as I know /etc/profile is read by all Bourne Shell derivatives if
you start up a login shell. Did you verify this by logging in from the
console? Or do you login through [xkgw]dm? If you do you might use the
initialization file of your display-manager.

since you are most likely using bash try this file:

/etc/bash.bashrc

what i would like to know myself is where debian sets its own default PATH which i have before touching any dotfiles...
