Under /etc/portage/package.use one can add:
sys-libs/ntdb PYTHON_TARGETS: python2_7
net-fs/samba PYTHON_TARGETS: python2_7
But when I try to transfer this to our custom profile I get
--- Invalid USE flag for 'sys-libs/ntdb' in '/var/lib/layman/transmode/profiles/gentoo64-common/package.use': 'PYTHON_TARGETS:'
--- Invalid USE flag for 'net-fs/samba' in '/var/lib/layman/transmode/profiles/gentoo64-common/package.use': 'PYTHON_TARGETS:'
I am missing something?
Generally I think that everything possible to do under /etc/portage should be
doable under a profile as well.

Just double checking, which version of portage do you have?
2.2.8-r2 is still available in stable tree, but you need at least
2.2.16 to get USE_EXPAND (
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/log/?h=v2.2.16 )
So ruling that out first would be advised.

So after you ignore my other stuff: Profiles are part of the PMS
specification, so any changes that go in there have to be EAPI
scheduled and cried over for a bit, and probably GLEPs and stuff also.
I guess portage could informally support it prior to any such
specification materialising, but it would have to be forbidden in the
main tree until such a specification was defined, or the portage tree
would become PMS in-compatible.

Yes, exactly! There is no need to use non PMS compatible features in
the gentoo tree.

We hide extensions like this behind profile-formats settings in
metadata/layout.conf. Please file a feature request bug for this at
bugs.gentoo.org.
