Title:
  /etc/skel/.bashrc should not set PS1

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I tried to change the PS1 for all users by editing /etc/bash_bashrc.

  Expected:

  PS1 to be modified for all users.

  Actual result:

  PS1 was not modified for any users because the /skel/.bashrc overrides
  the /etc/bash_bashrc PS1 setting with the exact same value.

  PS1 should not be set in the skel/.bashrc. If users wish to customize
  their local .bashrc they can, but the default installation should not
  prevent setting a system wide PS1.
