Thanks.  Matthias, ideally I would like /etc/skel to look something
like the following:

        .profile
        ========
        # see bash(1), sh(1posix), environ(7),
        # /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files.

        # The default umask is handled by pam_umask(8), but you can
        # override it for login shells in /etc/profile or here.
        #umask 002

        export PATH ENV LESS VISUAL

        # see /etc/login.defs
        PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
        if test -d "$HOME/bin"
        then
                PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
        fi

        ENV=$HOME/.shrc
        LESS=FRSX; # see less(1)

        #export VISUAL PAGER MAILER BROWSER EMAIL
        #VISUAL=emacs
        #PAGER=less
        #MAILER='x-terminal-emulator -e mutt'; # see xdg-email(1)
        #BROWSER=iceweasel
        #EMAIL=m...@example.com

        export LESSOPEN LESSCLOSE; # see less(1), lesspipe(1)
        LESSOPEN='| lesspipe %s'
        LESSCLOSE='lesspipe %s %s'

        if type dircolors >/dev/null 2>&1
        then
                test -r ~/.dircolors &&
                eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" ||
                eval "$(dircolors -b)"
        fi

        export MALLOC_PERTURB_ 
        MALLOC_PERTURB_=173; # see glibc:malloc/arena.c
        if test "${BASH+set}"
        then
                MALLOC_PERTURB_=$(($RANDOM % 255 + 1))
        fi

        # Unlike other shells, bash doesn't read $ENV unless we tell it to.
        if test "${BASH+set}"
        then
                . "$HOME/.bashrc"
        fi

        .bashrc
        =======
        # see bash(1), ~/.profile,
        # /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)

        # If not running interactively, don't do anything.
        case $- in *i*) ;; *) return; esac

        # append to the history file instead of overwriting it.
        shopt -s histappend

        # update LINES and COLUMNS when the window is resized.
        shopt -s checkwinsize

        # disable !history expansion
        set +H

        # programmable tab completion.  This can be enabled system-wide
        # in /etc/bash.bashrc.
        if test -r /etc/bash_completion
        then
                . /etc/bash_completion
        fi

        if test "${ENV+set}"
        then
                . "$ENV"
        fi

        .shrc
        =====
        # see ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc

        # If not running interactively, don't do anything.
        case $- in *i*) ;; *) return; esac

        #unset HISTFILE; # see bash(1)
        # Don't remember duplicate commands or commands starting with space.
        HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

        PS1='\$ '; # simple prompt

        if test -r /etc/debian_chroot
        then
                debian_chroot=\($(cat /etc/debian_chroot)\)
        else
                debian_chroot=
        fi

        if test "${BASH+set}"
        then
                PS1='${debian_chroot}\u@\h:\w'"$PS1"

                # If this is an xterm, set the title to user@host:dir.
                case $TERM in
                xterm*|rxvt*)
                        # see /usr/share/doc/xterm/ctlseqs.txt.gz
                        PS1='\[\e]0;${debian_chroot}\u@\h: \w\a\]'"$PS1"
                esac
        fi

        alias ls=ls\ -v\ --color=auto
        #alias info=info\ --vi-keys
        #alias su=su\ -
        #ulimit -c 1024

but given the current larger example files, Fabian's change makes
sense to me.
