I think there was a testing version of the 2007.0 profile in the tree, it is 
not there now. I have no clue how you managed to be using 2007.0 unless you 
made the updated link yourself.

I have a system I installed two days ago which used 2006.1, it is now using 
2006.1/desktop, then I have several other systems I administor using 2006.0 
or 2006.1. Changing the symlink will fix your issue, the new profiles should 
not be used until that version is released as they are *experimental*, i.e. 
things are being tried out in them etc.

Right now I am busy writing up my thesis and so I am not sure exactly why they 
have been removed from the tree as I don't have time to keep up with 
everything in the amd64 herd. I would highly recommend using 2006.1/desktop 
for desktop systems and making the switch to 2007.1 once the release is made.
