+Description: Document that --rcfile does not exclude SYS_BASHRC from running
+ This patch fixes the content added by man-bashrc.diff to correctly state that
+ the --rcfile switch only changes the execution of the user's personal
+ initialization file and that the system initialization file (SYS_BASHRC which
+ is /etc/bashrc.bash on Ubuntu) is still executed.
+ .
+ Given that man-bashrc.diff originates from Debian, I'm proposed this separate
+ additional patch in Ubuntu, but in Debian I've proposed a modification to
+ man-bashrc.diff itself. If that is accepted, this patch should simply be
+ dropped in our subsequent merge.
