I don't think this is the correct solution, so please don't NMU. I think it is wrong to piggy back on the /etc/profile.d mechanism, which was introduced by the LSB. Also mixing profile and bashrc stuff seems to be wrong. Citing implementations in other distributions doesn't help much, these may change without notice. So the best thing would be to bring such a proposal to the LSB, or to FreeDesktop, and then implement that one after it is accepted.
