This was trivial to do as you suggested so I just did it. Might as well
save people from crashers in the meantime. :)

I do want to move to 3.14, but I'm not sure if the team which decides
our 'supported' components will let us have two versions of vte
supported at the same time, so we might have to work on moving

Reverse-Depends
===============
* language-selector-gnome       (for gir1.2-vte-2.90)
* python-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets  (for gir1.2-vte-2.90)
* python3-aptdaemon.gtk3widgets  (for gir1.2-vte-2.90)
* remmina                       (for libvte-2.90-9)
* ubiquity-frontend-gtk         (for gir1.2-vte-2.90)
* ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk   (for gir1.2-vte-2.90)
* update-manager                (for gir1.2-vte-2.90)

to 2.91 in parallel with this. (This is work we should do anyway)

Title:
  gnome-terminal >= 3.7 requires sourcing of vte.sh login script

Status in GNOME Terminal:
  Won't Fix
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As of gnome-terminal 3.7.0, it is required to add the following to
  PS1 to get the usual behaviour where a new terminal opens with the
  current working directory of the terminal you activated it from.

  export PS1='\[$(__vte_ps1)\]'$PS1

  gnome-terminal devs suggest to put this in .bashrc, however since this
  basically causes a regression, it would make sense to deal with it at
  a distro level and perhaps include it in the system bash scripts or
  similar.

  The actual change was made in libvte so this may potentially affect
  any application that uses that library.

  As a side note: __vte_ps1() is provided by /etc/profile.d/vte.sh,
  which is installed by libvte, however atleast on my system this script
  is not getting sourced at login for some reason.
