changes in the filesystem (>= 2023.09.18) and pambase (>= 20230918) packages ensure, that umask is set centrally in /etc/login.defs instead of /etc/profile

@https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Umask

Arch [sets] a umask default value of 022 at /etc/login.defs. One can also set umask with pam_umask.so but it may be overridden by /etc/profile or similar.

Is there possibly a umask override still in place within /etc/profile.d/ since before the path change; and could this be overriding the new default umask value in place at /etc/login.defs?
