Tried it.  If you'd prefer, I can pull up the list of bugs where we hit
this on nearly every release, but since a viable solution was never
reached, I don't see how it would help.

Our main "fix" was to not build stages for desktop profiles, or to use a
complete stage3 tarball as input for another stage3, but that's equally
as broken.

I'd *gladly* fix catalyst to work around this, if I had a clue how to do
so.  Hacking profiles ended up yielding nothing workable, just so
everyone knows.
