There should be no need to delete wpkg.xml as it only helds installed
packages and no profile information. If your new profile contains all
packages of the default profile plus the new program nothing should be
uninstalled.
You could achive this by addind a depend on the default progile in the
new profile.

You could create a profile which contains only your new software and add
this profile to the 100 hosts additional to the default profile.
