You really should upgrade - that release is long obsolete and security
support for it ended over 6 years ago:

That's actually version 5.3 of the base-files package, rather than
version 5.3 of Debian (there isn't a version 5.3 of Debian).
The oldest supported version of Debian is version 7 which is in LTS
support until May 2018, and that has base-files version 7.1wheezy11
which is after the bug above was fixed:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=base-files
So any currently supported version of Debian should support
/etc/profile.d.
But this is getting well off-topic.
Cheers,
