My parent profiles are installable, why shouldn't they be?

The subprofiles are just *adding* more %post, %packages and the
like. This doesn't mean that the base kickstart wasn't installable.

Same applies to most kickstarts of spins, kickstart files of more
abstract "profiles" are included even multiple times in a row.

# rpm -ql spin-kickstarts | xargs grep %include|wc -l
