It sounds like PS1 isn't being set.  This is normally done in 
/etc/profile.  You might start by comparing /etc/profile with 
/etc/defaults/etc/profile.  They should be identical unless you've 
customized /etc/profile at some point.

The postinstall script for the base-files package should have taken care 
of updating /etc/profile, so you could also check to make sure the 
script was executed.
