Changing the profile can sometimes cause a lot of updates, changes to
use flags, features, etc, so no, it is not done automatically.
Generally after changing the make.profile link, you will want to do an
"emerge -DNuvp world" to see what changed.
Just as an example, as it currently sets the 2006.1 profile looks to
have use.defaults of:
USE="cups gdbm gpm libg++ nptl nptlonly ppds udev unicode"
while the 2006.0 profile has:
USE="alsa apache2 apm arts avi cups eds emboss encode esd foomaticdb
gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad
mikmod motif mp3 mpeg nptl ogg opengl oss pdflib png qt qt3 qt4
quicktime sdl spell truetype udev vorbis X xml xmms xv"
Thus, you could end up with a lot of missing use flags if you did just
a simple change. What you will probabliy really want with 2006.1 is
one of the sub-profiles, like 2006.1/desktop, which has similar use
flags to 2006.0.
