Package: rootskel
Version: 1.50
The default /root/.bashrc contains this line:
export PS1='\h:\w\$ '
That line isn't necessary because /etc/bash.bashrc does a similar but
better thing:
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}...@\h:\w\$ '
Indeed, the /root/.bashrc PS1 setting defeats attempts to set
debian_chroot (as an exported environment variable, or via /etc) to
affect root's prompt.
I think the PS1 setting in /root/.bashrc can safely be removed.
Ian.

Description:
base-files - Debian base system miscellaneous files
Closes: 275622 443245 487105 514794 547407 567733
Changes:
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.
