Apply those changes in base-files recipe.

If you send it as RFC to list than maybe it will be OK for everyone,
otherwise you can apply it with distro override or something.

Maybe those profile tweaks should be in user profile instead of system
profile? Someone noticed that xserver-common Xsession script is using
only "ls" to list Xsession.d scripts and then later fails if profile has
alias ls="ls --color"...

FYI: I removed similar postprocess tweaks from shr images about a month
ago, because of those reasons...
