I would suggest to add the following extention for /etc/profile:

# Source profile extensions for certain packages
#
if [ -d /etc/profile.d ] ; then
    for s in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
        [ -x "$s" ] && . "$s"
    done
    unset s
fi


with the "test -x" it is possible to enable/disable single scripts w/o deleting them (just set or unset the X-flag). It's not needed otherwise.

Reproducible: Always
