An init script at bootlevel, that executes before * (but after mount?) that 
copies the files from /etc/laptop.d/<profile>.
The way to specify <profile> would be by putting it in /etc/conf.d/script or 
if you fancy a boot parameter in grub (to be parsed from /proc/cmdline) or 
both with the second overriding the first.
