~/.screenrc cannot be used after installing screen-profiles

Bug Description

Binary package hint: screen-profiles

After screen-profiles is installed (which happens by default now), the first launch of screen provides a menu to choose a profile:

Select a screen profile:
 1. plain
 2. ubuntu-dark
 3. ubuntu-light

Choose: 1-3 [1]:

All three of these options cause screen to completely ignore the user’s existing ~/.screenrc, if they have one. There should be a fourth option that symlinks ~/.screenrc-profile -> ~/.screenrc, so that users who already have a ~/.screenrc that they want to use can do so.

  * profiles/plain: rather than symlinking to /etc/screenrc, source it, and
    then source ~/.screenrc to ensure that the user's local customizations
    are loaded, LP: #328312
  * debian/install: install plain profile
  * debian/rules: drop the symlink to /etc/screenrc
