I wrote it specifically for you! it's not that I don't like it, but that I don't think a cfengine script is the right approach (sorry): - I don't think you can assume that all (gnome) users of desktop-profiles have cfengine installed -> using it to generate the necessary changes is definately suboptimal - the cfengine script doesn't move over management of non-default configuration sources to desktop-profiles, which means if you have any such beasts, you'll either be juggling 2 ways of managing configuration sources, or have to generate the necessary metadata manually. The conversion script will generate the necesaary metadat automatically
