Why not introducing a new level in the hierarchy ? Something like "common" 
could be fit.

default/linux/amd64/13.0
default/linux/amd64/13.0/common
default/linux/amd64/13.0/common/desktop
default/linux/amd64/13.0/common/developer
...

By doing so we could still have a bare profiles with minimal things set to 
work, and have the
common subset with sane defaults for most users.
