On all my Debian boxes, the default .bashrc (/etc/skel/.bashrc) file
already has it in there, but commented out. Here's the snippet ripped
out of the case statement:

 # If this is an xterm set the title to user at host:dir
 #case $TERM in
 #xterm*)
 #    PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
 #    ;;

I find the pwd display especially useful when i've got more logins to
the same server than i can count on both hands.  The PROMPT_COMMAND
method makes it update every time the prompt is displayed, so you can do
all sorts of other wacky things with it.
