After reviewing the existing profiles effected by the proposed change
I'd suggest you do something like this.

cp -a base base-tmp
cd base
cat ~/base-alt-changes | patch
cd ..
diff -u base-tmp/packages base/packages | grep ^- | cut -c 2- > new.x
mv new.x base-tmp/packages
mv base core
mv base-tmp base
echo ../core > base/parent

# And then bsd inherits from core vs base.
