/etc/skel/.profile comment about umask needs updating

/etc/skel/.profile contains this stanza:

# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022

However, this is no longer true. /etc/profile says:

# The default umask is now handled by pam_umask.
# See pam_umask(8) and /etc/login.defs.

In fact, the above can be shortened, as pam_umask(8) refers to /etc/login.defs. This also avoids the reader inferring (as I did) that /etc/login.defs is independent of pam_umask, an inference which though erroneous is supported by the fact that the umask stanza in /etc/login.defs does not mention pam_umask.

Hence, the lines in /etc/skel/.profile should be changed to something like:

# The default umask is handled by pam_umask.
# See pam_umask(8).
#umask 022

I'll file a similar suggestion against base-files.
