There is a difference: when one executes a command with bash, the
environment is already set up. When executing a command with ssh, it is
useful to set up the environment before executing the command
(AcceptEnv/SendEnv are too limited, since one generally wants an
environment that is different from the client one -- in particular for
the locales, which are not the same on the client side and on the
server side). That's why it is useful to process the .bashrc file, and
this is what Debian has chosen. This is the only way I can have correct
locales (those I really want) on the remote host.
