Package: base-files
Version: 5.0.0
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/base-files/dot.bashrc

Since /usr/share/base-files/dot.bashrc exports PS1, this means that
subshells inherit the value rather than setting sensible defaults.
zsh has a different prompt expansion syntax, so when it starts as
a subshell of bash, it'll display a prompt of (literally)

  \h:\w\$ 

which is not very useful. If I unset PS1 before I switch shells,
then zsh sets a proper default instead.
