Great! Thanks.

1: I have no objection to depending on screen-profiles.
2: It should not be necessary to change the screen-package. If you
include the plain-profile in the screen-profiles package, one can always
switch back.
3: Why not give an extra option when running select-screen-profile as
root, to install it system-wide? I would not like to see the
ubuntu-thingie as default.
4: See 2.

Great work, thanks!


btw: I do get an error when starting screen now.

/usr/share/screen-profiles/profiles/common: source /home/marks/.screenrc-keybindings: No such file or directory
