Well, I'm not including the "plain" profile.  I'm just symlink'ing to

that, and upstream Debian, from time to time, makes
modifications/fixes to it.

Running things as root is generally avoid in Ubuntu.

We could handle it, through update-alternatives, (see
/etc/alternatives).  I'll have a look at that.
