The behaviour of Paludis doesn't matter as far as your own /etc goes, because you (presumably) don't use Paludis. You're free to use whatever's supported by your own favourite package manager. > Additionally, there isn't a way to define in paludis where the profiles > actually exist outside of the repository configuration files, which means > that in your mind, they're one and the same. You can read minds now? The actual reason why the profile is configured in the repository configuration file is that the profile used by a particular repository's packages is a parameter to that repository. Not that that's relevant to what you do in your own /etc, as I said above.
