My opinion? Here's what I'd do ;-)

    git rm system/skeleton/root/.bash_*

And maybe provide a simple .profile *iff* needed.

As for bash, our bash.mk may install those .bash_* files in /root/ .

Furthermore, I'd also like /etc/profile be cleaned-up of all the mess,
moving each (interesting) parts to separate files in /etc/profile.d/ .

And while at it:

    git rm system/skeleton/root/.empty
