bug in fortune-mod-on-login or /etc/profile or logrotate

[Elan Ruusamäe]

i get daily fortunes from logrotate cron.
i really don't think the fortunes should be outputed on cronjobs (the package 
description doesn't say so ;P)

these get executed because:
1. /etc/profile is called somehow from logrotate postscripts
2. /etc/profile.d/fortune-mod.sh is called from /etc/profile

so should the /etc/profile.d/*.sh called only on interactive shells?
somehow prevent logrotate post scripts calling /etc/profile?

are there (/etc/profile.d) any scripts which should be called for cron 
scripts? i have all them useful only for user terminals.

btw, it *might* have something to do with the fact that root shell 
is /bin/bash not /bin/sh
