Title:
  Karmic does not set PS1 correctly in /etc/profile

Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: base-files

  /etc/profile contains wrong logic for PS1 (see below)
  Here the condition is entered when PS1 is already set otherwise nothing is done.
  That does not make sense to me.
  I think it should read if [ -z "$PS1" ]  or something similar, so that PS1 gets set if it is not already set.

  if [ $PS1 ]; then
    if [ "$BASH" ]; then
     ...
    else
     ...
    fi
  fi
