Hello Debian policy,
I do not like /etc/profile.d idea because I am a zsh user and every
implementation I saw so far were completly broken if your shell was not bash.
-- Either /etc/profile.d applied only to bash, but why discriminating
users of other shell (zsh,tcsh,etc...) ?
-- Either /etc/profile.d was applyed to zsh as well but just break
randomly, because of syntax difference.
Using /etc/profile.d to set an environment variable is not policy-compliant
since Debian policy forbid packages relying on environment variable:
10.9. Environment variables
---------------------------
A program must not depend on environment variables to get reasonable
defaults. (That's because these environment variables would have to
be set in a system-wide configuration file like `/etc/profile', which
is not supported by all shells.)
Cheers,
