Ah yes, good old Debian /etc/skel/.bashrc at work.  Presumably you
mean this section:

# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir
case "$TERM" in
xterm*|rxvt*)
    PS1="\[\e]0;${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h: \w\a\]$PS1"
    ;;

I don't know what mate-terminal uses for $TERM, or what it used back
in stretch, but it's something the OP could research, I suppose.  If
it changed from "xterm" to "mate-terminal" or something along those
lines, that would certainly explain the change.
