I believe it's /etc/profile that is populating the home directory for new users. /etc/defaults/etc/profile is the latest version as provided by the base-files package and will have the same content unless you have "poisoned" /etc/profile with local edits.

If you read between the lines of my previous message you would understand that I already knew this. Look, I'm only harping on about this since the base-files maintainer should have understood that doing a system-level change in one place that is later supposed to be reversed by the skel files isn't going to fly for existing installations.
