My goal is to create my own custom profile to use the same set of 
packages, version, use between my laptop and my desktop.

I have some non-free packages (linux-firmware, Saleae, intel-microcode), 
so for me that make sense to have a package.license file in the profile.

For information, I also opened a pull request on Codeberg [1] because I 
wasn’t sure if the mailing list was active.
