Actually, the prof packages should be seen as mandatory, not optional, so there is no reason that there should be a flag to control whether or not they are built.
Bryan is probably right, we can probably drop the prof flag - at least I can't think of any cases profiling has blocked building a package: my reason for having it is really more to save time for debugging builds sometimes (either build time or time downloading ghc-prof), but for small libraries it probably doesn't make sense so I think it is safe to remove from the default template and then big libraries (like gtk2hs) might still have a prof build flag but that would be up to the maintainer.
bcond looks better though: so I will use that for docs and other places/packages.
