Subject: [PATCH] Keep the default profile the same
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It's used as the “system” profile in a bunch of places, so better not
touch it. Besides, it doesn't hurt to keep it since it's owned by root
any way, so it doesn't have the `chown` problem that the user profiles
had and that led to wanting to move them on the client-side.
