If I log in (either locally and remotely) I get the

type “bash” on the command line then this file gets

`man bash`
Check the Invocation chapter. A (bash) login shell is not expected to
source .bashrc, although it is commonly added to either /etc/profile or
~/.bash_profile. IIRC the /etc/profile supplied by the basefiles package
used to source .bashrc
Other invocations do source .bashrc directly. I won't attempt to
summarise the detail here.
