Changelog
base-files (5.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed default permissions for /root to 700, as many admins consider
it should be more private than other home directories. Closes: #514794.
* Changed default permissions for /var/log/btmp to 660, to be in sync
with permissions set by logrotate. Closes: #547407.
* Do not export PS1 in /root/.bashrc, as it has bash escapes and it's
inherited to subshells that do not have to be bash. Closes: #567733.
* Added debian_chroot variable to default PS1 in /root/.bashrc.
* Comment out PS1 in /root/.bashrc anyway, as /etc/profile and
/etc/bash.bashrc already care about it. Closes: #443245.
* Comment out umask as well, as it's already in /etc/profile.
* Added /usr/local/games to default PATH in /etc/profile. Closes: #487105.
* While we are at it, comment out everything about PATH, as /etc/login.defs
should already care about this.
* Changed default /etc/profile so that it sources /etc/bash.bashrc
if the shell is bash. Closes: #275622.
* Drop \u part from default PS1 in /etc/profile, as it's only useful
for people with several non-root accounts. Most people are either root
or an ordinary user, so $ and # are enough to differentiate between them.
* Comment out PS1 setting in /etc/profile anyway, as we have bash.bashrc.
