---------------------------+---------------------------------
We attempt to divert /etc/profile, but that's not managed by dpkg, but is
instead the result of a pile of goo in base-files maintainer scripts
([Debian:668871], [Debian:673767]). The only thing that doesn't support
profile.d is squeeze, and we can just stop building for it or something.
We should clean it up (and tcsh-config if necessary). In general, I think
we can clean up profile.debathena, for a couple of reasons: 10-bash-
kerberos-credentials-warn can move to bashrc.d from profile.d, because
bash claims to be able to detect when its input is connected to ssh/rsh,
and will read bashrc, not profile, even for login shells. 80-mh-inpath
can also move to our bashrc.d directory, since the whole point of
profile.debathena is to override bash's idiotic behavior of using
different startup files for login vs non-login shells.
