In the /usr/share/doc/bash/README.Debian.gz file:
5. What is /etc/bash.bashrc? It doesn't seem to be documented.
The Debian version of bash is compiled with a special option
(-DSYS_BASHRC) that makes bash read /etc/bash.bashrc before ~/.bashrc
for interactive non-login shells. So, on Debian systems,
/etc/bash.bashrc is to ~/.bashrc as /etc/profile is to
~/.bash_profile.
