Description-en: framework for setting up desktop profiles
This package offers a standard cross-desktop way of managing the conditional
activation of available profiles. As such it is useful to both administrators
(allowing different configurations for different sets of users) and Debian
Blends (who want to customize configuration for a certain target group).
.
The different Desktop environments in Debian all offer the possibility of
customizing them through the use of profiles (sets of configuration and/or
data files). Usually it's also possible to stack configuration sets,
combining the customizations provided by a number of profiles.
.
This package currently supports profiles for KDE, GNOME, Xfce, MATE and
Freedesktop. Freedesktop profiles allow you to do a (growing amount of)
cross-desktop customization, while the other profile kinds allow you to
customize the respective desktop environments to various degrees.
