Ohoh, user environment stuff, that will cause much more discussion;)
I have attatched a patch against your version and my complete
/etc/profile(.default).

Also the DIR_COLOR stuff should be global in /etc/profile (IMO),
plus a global inputrc.  The creation of /etc/inputrc is in
/etc/profile now, but may also be just an
export INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
in there and include the complete file in the package.

Also I would be interested to know who is 'mwe' who did this
profile stuff which I copied.

# example /etc/inputrc
# see: http://www.ibb.net/~anne/keyboard/keyboard.html#Bash
# This file is read by the 'readline' library
# (the library which bash uses for its command-
# line editing facility)

"\e[3~": delete-char
# this is actually equivalent to "\C-?": delete-char
# VT
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
# kvt
"\e[H": beginning-of-line
"\e[F": end-of-line
# rxvt and konsole (i.e. the KDE-app...)
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
"\e[8~": end-of-line

# Make Insert work
"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard

# Ignore case for the command-line-completion
# functionality.
#set completion-ignore-case On

set meta-flag On
set convert-meta Off
set output-meta On

# END of .inputrc
