Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: base-files
Setting the umask in /etc/profile only works for some shells. It was
introduced into debian as a workaround, when the switch from login to
PAM broke the UMASK setting in /etc/login.defs.
Since recently pam_umask is included in pam, and provides a central
facility with user overrides to set a consistent umask again.
In /etc/profile please comment:
# umask 022
# Setting a fixed umask in shell configuration files was only a workaround.
# It is no longer needed and should not be done since the umask can be
# set consistently with PAM. (See man pam_umask.)
