SUSE's always done that (well, at least as long as I've used it.) I
just tried on a Debian box and their script is even longer. But if you
do a:
        set | more
you'll see the normal variables at the beginning. Not sure what the
script is doing but it's 'normal', i.e., part of the stock install I
believe...
