Title:
  $PATH discrepency when ~/bin exists

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in bash package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash

  Hi,

  From the thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1634980

  If you have a bin folder in yer home directory, it adds it to the
  path.

  It currently adds ~/bin to the start of $PATH, which has been brought
  up as a bit of a security issue. It should add that path to the end of
  the $PATH variable, not the beginning.

  See the thread for a fix.

  Thanks.
