Normally it does - the preremove/postinstall scripts of the base-files package is supposed to update /etc/profile to match /etc/defaults/etc/profile if it does not detect any local edits. But this feature of base-files may have been introduced after your original download; in which case, you can manually copy /etc/defaults/etc/profile over /etc/profile and you should be back to normal. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
