Hello,

Note that =E2=80=98--with-input=E2=80=99 & co. are *package* transformation=
 options, so
the question is which packages we=E2=80=99d apply them to.

We could take those options as applying to all the packages in the
global profile, but it may not be exactly what people would expect
because it would not apply to packages used by Shepherd services.

WDYT?
