Preconfigured profiles are the right way to solve this, it’s just that the message could be worded more kindly.


No, preconfigured profiles are not the right way to solve this, as the message clearly indicates, pre-configured profiles are designed to be managed by the owner of the computer, not the software distributor. The right way to solve this would be to change the built-in default that applies before any profile is processed. This also would allow any other profile to override it if they wanted.

EDIT: Apparently the Debian team agrees: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=956012#72
