Right, wasn’t that the assumption? Profiles are like a bitmask, or
checkboxen. Default is: all are disabled.

This is better. No magic needed to both annotate (in debian/control)
and implement (in parsers) to have profiles include other profiles.
Every profile can be “followed” by the eyes by just looking at the
Build-Depends.

I’m wondering how to express “baz, if profile foo, or if profile bar
and not foo”, or something. But I hope it doesn’t come to that (I’ve
no use case in mind), besides, there’s always the ‘,’ and ‘|’ mechanisms.
