When was the system in question installed? The changelog for base-files 5.3 says (emphasis mine) "Changed *default* /etc/profile so that it sources /etc/profile.d/*.sh"; /etc/profile is generated from the default file at initial install and not touched on upgrades, so if the system was installed with an earlier base-files version then you won't automatically get /etc/profile.d support. You can check /usr/share/base-files/profile in order to verify that the default file does include profile.d support.
