File `grc.bashrc` missing in the Debian package
I'm not sure if this is the right place to report it, it depends on who's maintaining the Debian package, but the Debian package in Debian 10's repository is missing the alias file for bash /etc/grc.bashrc. There're only grc.fish and grc.zsh files.
BTW there's an inconsistency in the naming of those files - in case of fish and zsh, the alias file contains the name of the shell, but in case of bash, it contains the name of bash's configuration file.
same here, bash is probably more widely used, it surprises me there is no grc.bash on ubuntus
Came to report this. For whatever reason it's just not installed.

I'm not sure why, but it's specifically removed here: https://github.com/garabik/grc/blob/master/debian/rules#L23
Not much to go on from the commit either, but clearly intentional. https://github.com/garabik/grc/commit/8baa92d61616ba1dcf61a6cbebb7786a096e8194
I see that grc.sh is copied to /etc/profile.d/ by install.sh, but grc.fish and grc.zsh get copied to /etc/, I'm not sure why the difference.
Usually for bash, whatever you put in /etc/profile.d/ gets sourced from /etc/profle, I don't know how fish an zsh work in that regard.
Should the three files be copied to /etc/profile.d/?
There's a good case for grc.sh not being in /etc/profile.d/:
grc.sh unnecessary double source; variable #199
The file gets sourced before the flag can be set by the user -- not all users are root :)
