FWIW, I consider this a feature.

No; our version of libnss-ptdb will check ~/.shell.  This has been the
case for about two weeks now.  The default is /bin/bash.

Of note, yesterday the upstream author of libnss-ptdb folded this
change into the main codebase, although he uses the file ~/.loginshell
and I think he expects it to be a symlink rather than a text file.  We
should probably move to his version at some point.
