Debian ignores /etc/profile

Hi TLUGgers,

I recently upgraded my 2 months out of date debian unstable system and 
now it appears to have stopped reading /etc/profile on login by normal 
users.  Root seems to pick up the environment variables set in there but 
no sign of them for lusers (and the file is a+r).  Any ideas on how 
debian normally incorporates /etc/profile in startup/login, and why it 
might have broken for me?

Thanks,
Oliver
