A general note about writing extension profiles.
For all the files that are there only to *add* things to an existing tool, you don't need to add the meta_type attribute for the references to that tool. For example below, you only need to write:
  <object name="portal_actions">
or
  <object name="portal_layouts">
The meta_type is only useful if these objects were about to be created, which they're not in an extension profile.

About extension profiles, wouldn't it be possible to clearly label which profiles are extension profiles and which are base profiles in the portal setup UI so as to be able to guess whether configuration made in the ZMI will be purged or not at next import time?

The CPS setup tool lists the base profile first, the others are extension profiles.
Probably all that UI could be done better.

Furthermore, the import/export tabs should display a reminder to which profile is currently activated.

Yes. Actually just import, as export doesn't care and just uses the listed export steps.

Patches welcome :)
