I'm listening... although default ~/.profile only gets installed if it
wasn't previously existing and I know of no other system that would
explicitly guard their default files for the possibility that these would be
shared with other systems (except the SunOS->Solaris transition). Another
(or even better) option would be to move these kind of local setup into
/etc/profile.d.

Achim.
