I see now that I can copy the whole /usr/portage/profiles dir to my
overlay, edit base/packages there, and link /etc/make.profile to the
profile in my overlay. This has several drawbacks:

1. I need to keep in syncro the profiles dir in my overlay to the one
in the portage tree.
2. I probably don't need a whole copy of /usr/portage/profiles.
3. It sure is ugly as hell.

Is there a better way to do it?

Regards.
