[Bug 881373] Re: /etc/profile incorrectly sources /etc/.profile.d/ content before setting PS1

[agent 8131]

I was just investigating this issue.  Am I correct in assuming that this
bug is present in all versions of Ubuntu at least from 10.04 through
11.04?  Is there any chance other affected versions will be fixed.  At
the very least 10.04 should be fixed given its LTS status.

Title:
  /etc/profile incorrectly sources /etc/.profile.d/ content before
  setting PS1

Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In its current form, /etc/profile sources the content of
  /etc/profile.d/ first and then sets PS1. This effectively prevents the
  administrator or a third-party package from setting PS1 by adding a
  file to /etc/profile.d/ and is therefore undesirable. The order of the
  code fragments for sourcing /etc/profile.d content and for setting the
  stock PS1 must thus be reversed.
