The base-files postinstall script will attempt to recreate its files if they don't exist, it can't differentiate between deleted and clean install (do any?). If you want to use a ~/.profile instead change /etc/skel/.bash_profile to be something along the lines of source ~/.profile Base-files *will not* (now) overwrite a user modified file. Would this be sufficient? I don't know how to improve this... make a note during preremove of any of the manifest files missing and don't create them upon installation? Possible I suppose...
