  * Remove /etc/skel/.bash_profile, if it is unmodified; if modified and
    /etc/skel/.profile is unmodifed, move .bash_profile to .profile.
    LP: #211406.
  * /etc/skel/.bashrc: Add an option to blurt a terminal window with a
    colored prompt. LP: #103929.
  * /etc/skel/.bashrc: Add color support for grep and friends (commented out
    by default). LP: #144632.
  * /etc/skel/.profile: Avoid the use of `~'. LP: #200283.
  * Add a shopt option compat31 to falls back to the behaviour of bash-3.1
    and earlier versions, in that quoting the string argument to the [[
    command's =~ +operator does not force string matching. LP: #110407.
