If you have the time, I would encourage you keep the profile enabled and
collect all the missing rules in a local/ profile whenever possible (not
possible for the lsb_release subprofile). If you desire, you could start
with what's in LP: #1533232 as I spend a lot of time collecting those
dbus and other rules. That's what I'd like to bring to the maintainer
when time permits.
