No, the policy doesn't forbid such a directory in itself. It just
forbids that such a directory be a default Debian system component
like it is in Redhat. And our policy is right on this.
It doesn't prohibit the inclusion of such a directory as an *add-on*
mechanism provided by a separate optional package. And that's just
the way to go. Such a mechanism is just too damn useful for sysadmins
to be neglected. I've made such a package which implements such an
add-on mechanism and have made it available including sources under
"ftp://ntama.uni-mainz.de/pub/debian/unofficial/sysprofile/";. It is
still far from perfect, is only useful for bash and i lack the time to
work further on it. So if someone would like to take a look at it...
Another option is Massimo dal Zotto's "shellrc" package available from
"http://www.cs.unitn.it/~dz/debian/";. It supports csh and bash.
Cheers, P. *8^)
