Ok I used the same URL, but this should be a TODO when this gets
worked on in Katello. It looks like a profile isn't actually a
"resource" that gets persisted to the database as an entity itself,
rather we just save a list of packages? If so trailing with /packages/
might be more clear as far as the API goes. If a profile is actually a
resource in Katello then it makes more sense to me.

I don't think Katello is bound to expose the same API URL as Pulp as
pulp-client won't be talking to Katello (afaik), so it might be a good
time to adjust it if we'd rather use something else.

The code is currently sending a list of package dicts as the JSON in
the request. Does this match pulp-client?

Whoever picks up the implementation to accept the package profile in
Katello feel free to let me know and I can work with to sort out any
issues.

Cheers,
