Ah right. util-linux is one of the early adopters introducing stage1. Extending the existing profile to cover another dependency certainly is not a regression. However, libcryptsetup-dev may play a different role here. > Given this it would "feel" more like a pkg.util-linux.justlibs > profile... That sounds about right. Similar examples are pkg.openldap.noslapd and pkg.unbound.libonly. We can rename stage1 when convenient. > Is there an overview of the currently in use values in the extension > namespace? https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec#Registered_profile_names None of the common build profiles fits your use. The problem I see here is that presence of libcryptsetup-dev influences how libmount-dev is built. If you were to add it to a pkg.util-linux.justlibs profile, your built libraries would differ when built with or without this profile and that's not what we want. Ideally profiles just enable/disable packages without changing the contents of those that are built. I suggest that util-linux should have distinct profiles here. One for building only libraries (in a way that reproduces a full build) and another for disabling functionality inside those libraries that need to be passed for bootstrap. In essence, I argue that while stage1 should probably renamed to something like pkg.util-linux.justlibs, libcryptsetup-dev should not be part of that profile (renamed or not). Helmut
