Mmmm. Leftovers. I'll clean that out in the next release.
CHere didn't work because you either have an old or custom /etc/profile.

Yes, that does the job, but not completely.
Look for the correct snippet in a recent /etc/defaults/etc/profile (part of the
base-files package). If you don't have other modifications in /etc/profile copy
the default file, which was updated recently. This also means you will pick up
further base-files modifications when they are released.

The cd occurs in /etc/profile for bash, ash, and pdksh; /etc/zprofile for zsh;
/etc/csh.login for tcsh.
An appropriate modification for zprofile can be found in
/usr/share/doc/zsh-<ver>/StartupFiles/etc/zprofile (installed with zsh).
zprofile is updated in a similar way to profile, so use the default if you want
to pick up updates.
Appropriate modifications for csh.login should appear in the next release. They
are similar to that in profile.

Not a problem.
