There is no public repository for the package. That does not stop you
from generating a patch, though :)
You forgot to say which shell are you using, as they are/can be
differently set up WRT PS1.
If I wanted all my users to get a custom (read: different from the
default) PS1, I guess I'd use the skel files for that.
If you decide to use a custom /etc/profile.d/ script to do that job,
then you need to tweak system-wide /etc/profile as well, IMHO.
Also, the patch is indeed harmless, but, as you provide it, i needs to
be used once for each ifdef in the profile.
