I filed a bunch of bugs to deprecate existing profile that rely on
'releases/13.0' profile snippet.

To deprecate a profile just drop a 'deprecated' file to profile dir
that targets to target for users to switch to. Example:
    https://bugs.gentoo.org/672960#c2
Note: package.desc still remains

At removal time we will delete both deprecated profiles and package.desc entries.
