No progress yet. I’ve been meaning to work on this, but it’s pretty
tedious and demands concentration, which is a quality I haven’t been
able to maintain.
For most *packages* needing a subset of TeX live we can use
“texlive-union” as an input instead. For user profiles, “texlive-union”
is not the right tool.

Currently, the recommended way to get TeX live is to install the
huge “texlive” package. “texlive-union” was only meant to be used as an
input in packages that require a subset of TeX live. It cannot yet be
used in a profile.
> Let me know if I there is anything I can help with.
We need a profile hook that builds the configuration file and sets
environment variables whenever a texlive-* package is contained in a
profile. The behaviour would be similar to “texlive-union”.
