I answered in #9598. For the record, there is the obvious solution that 
consists of removing packages filtering based on their prefix. This will make 
profile generation slower, but I don’t know if that would be noticeable. It 
depends on the efficiency of `union-build'.

I think you can drop #9597, which is too specific anyway.
