and that is *exactly* what using build-profiles will do.

if you add to profiles/FOO.packages and add --build-profile FOO (and not
include FOO as a regular profile), it will ensure that those packages
are on the CD, but not include them when installing.

you can sort of think of a build profile as a fake profile that only
changes the CD building process, and thus what gets included on the CD,
but shouldn't change what gets installed.
