With the new package, I can configure this myself with:
$ cat /home/kirkland/.screen-profiles/status
menu=0
whoami=1
hostname=1
An exhaustive list looks like:
cpu-count=1
cpu-freq=1
ec2-cost=1
hostname=1
load-average=1
mem-available=1
mem-used=1
menu=0
reboot-required=1
release=1
This bug was fixed in the package screen-profiles - 1.37-0ubuntu1
