I would also skip asking to select a profile if screen is run with '-m'
option. Or may be, when $TERM is not set.

I had a headless remote system behind a NAT which ran something like
'screen -d -m ssh -R ... exthost' in its startup scripts (more exactly,
in cron @reboot line for certain user), to eastablish a port forwarding
so that I could access it inside NAT connecting from 'exthost'.

Once I had upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty, having installed recommended 
screen-profiles package during the course.
To play well by your current rules, I had either to run screen from under that 
user and select a profile for further use,
or, to remove screen-profiles package before a reboot.

Anyway, then I was not so omniscient and experienced in upgrade to Jaunty and 
all surprises this ensues, 
so after the reboot I have lost this screen-ssh which once made reverse tunnel 
for me, 
losing the access to the system 120 km away from me, 
and there is not much people whom I could ask to do the proper thing at this 
place.

So, I would like very much is screen-profile wrapper don't ask to select a 
profile is there is '-m' option in screen command line, 
or if there is no $TERM variable in the environment.

Don't know if it is worth to create another bug for my request, hope
that reopening this one will suffice.
