For me, readline misteriousely stopped processing /etc/inputrc after an update on Hardy. This started to manifest like 1-2 weeks ago. I didn't notice it straight away, so I can't tell which update was that.
I didn't have ~/.inputrc before and I didn't override /etc/inputrc. I swear it used to work before without any manual intervention. How come it suddenly stopped working? Any ideas? Anyways, the include trick did the job for me.
