Is there any other packages that does it? No, it's not overkill, it's the vital part of the puzzle that makes using /etc/skel work. In the past when I (and others) have suggested using /etc/skel, the packagers have said "what about existing users?" and then they put the commands into a global init file so that it affects everyone, old and new users alike. Having all packages that install /etc/skel files give the files to existing users (safely) would take away this objection. ..wayne..
