I agree, that OpenWrt differs - and i have a usecase:

1)
we like to have special helpers like

alias n='wget -qO - http://127.0.0.1:2006/neighbours'
(for OLSRd)

and we source/include a special 'metascript' which
makes adminstration much easier. for now we patch /etc/profile
but having it in profile.d is more clean and: it is automatically
removed if package XY is also removed...

bye, bastian
