That doesn't seem to do it.

Here is  /usr/share/doc/bash/README.Debian, which gives
other advice, but this didn't work either:


   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.


I also changed  /etc/login.defs,
but that didn't quite do it, since it only changed the
path when you logged in, not when you simply opened
another shell.
