Title:
  Login shell not sourcing /etc/profile and ${HOME}/.bashrc

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  bash does not source /etc/profile and ${HOME}/.bashrc for login
  shells, ignoring some settings done within these files. Additionally
  aliases are set while sourcing /etc/profile and ${HOME}/.bashrc
  overwriting each other. Aliases shall be read at one place only from
  one source if possible. Not from /etc/profile.d/aliases.sh, from
  within /etc/profile and from ${HOME}/.bashrc there is to much
  posibility you'll change aliases overwritten by other parts while
  executing login leading to different command behaviour later on. This
  can be something really bad: assume one awaiting "rm" aliased to "rm
  -i" kicking of "rm -r *" assuming this set because he/she is used to
  it from xterm, but it isn't set this way login in from somewhere else
  via ssh or ssh+screen and having again a different behaviour logging
  in with xterm+byobu or ssh+byobu enabled!
