Perhaps your .bashrc isn't being read. The default .bash_profile
provided by Debian has a line that would source your .bashrc file, if
it weren't commented out. Try typing
source ~/.bashrc
at a prompt to read in your .bashrc now, and make sure the following
lines are uncommented in your .bash_profile so it'll be read every
time you log in:
if [[ -f ~/.bashrc]; then
source ~/.bashrc
