Actually it does not:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep PATH /usr/share/base-files/profile | grep 
/usr/local/games
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep /usr/local/games /usr/share/base-files/profile
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -L base-files | xargs zgrep /usr/local/games
/usr/share/doc/base-files/changelog.gz:  * Removed /var/state and 
/var/state/misc, added /usr/local/games.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $PATH | grep /usr/local/games
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

Perhaps you mean /usr/games rather than /usr/local/games?
