The env variable would have to be set before bash starts execution, since
/etc/profile finishes before the user's ~/.bashrc starts.

True enough. And bash only looks at ~/.bashrc for non-login interactive
shells, nothing else. So I guess we are stuck with telling users to edit
~/.bashrc no matter what.
