I don't have an issue with having 2 profiles. But as it stands today, we'll only
be able to install one profile in the gate (the test profile based on Andreas
patch).

So, we can agree what the profile look like now. But we don't have the testing
to enforce it ATM.

It is the same issue with non dpkg platforms, we don't test them per project in
the gate either. And have no way of enforcine projects support other distros.
