Is there a way I can make a profile NOT install a certain package, even if it depends on another profile that would install it? The use case being where the default is to have that package install but a small number of PCs are exceptions.

For a simple example:

<profile id="standard">
<package package-id="firefox" />
<package package-id="office" />
</profile>

<profile id="no_office">
<depends profile-id="standard" />
<!-- something to make the office package not install -->
</profile>

If it's possible, it would save me having to duplicate (and maintain in duplicate) the contents of the standard profile in the no_office profile.
