oprofile is used for profiling program execution, so I do not think this would be it.
bash has this distributed in /etc/skel/.bashrc, which is used to populate ~/.bashrc for a newly-created user. So... this is most certainly where it came from. And... yes, bash_3.2-0ubuntu7.diff.gz does list the following: +bash (3.2-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low + + * New upstream version. (...) + * Set HISTCONTROL to ignoreboth. Ubuntu #66539. So 3.2-0ubuntu7 (current bash) has it there as ignoreboth; actually, the patch seems to add both entries. A look at bug 66539 indicates that since dapper bash has come with HISTCONTROL=ignoredups, so this is not actually new (I myself have no idea, since I moved to Ubuntu on Feisty). On the other hand, any new user created after installing 3.2-0ubuntu7 would have it set. Nicolò, I tend to "this is not a bug".
