seems a little clumsy to have the same packages in 2 channels when
surely that channel could exist in more than 1 profile? Its dead easy
to do in cobbler so i'd have thought that the same options would be
available to me.

surely this sort of thing is done often - that is why i presumed it
was an issue with my understanding
