True, but Philippe said he had this in .bash_profile:

# source the users profile if it exists
if [ -f "${HOME}/.profile" ] ; then
 source "${HOME}/.profile"
fi

Might be an idea for base-files actually, allowing for bash-specific
settings in .bash_profile while having settings common across shells
in .profile.
