I really like this idea of keeping the job definition and the "manual" state separate. It pretty closely describes what I tried to explain in [1] and [2] (what you call "manual" maps to my "enable(d)|disable(d)") My idea of "profiles", would simply extend this idea of a state in /var/lib/init, either by storing the state in separate files or subdirectories. Such a profile could be chosen on the boot prompt.
