profiles.xml is a file which defines the software packages, which will be installed on hosts.
This file has to be placed in the same direstory as wpkg.js.
WPKG will not work without this file.
Hosts are defined in hosts.xml file.
Packages are defined in packages.xml file.
profiles.xml structure
The structure of profiles.xml is as follows:
<profiles>
<profile id="default">
<package package-id="acrobat" />
<package package-id="firefox" />
</profile>
<profile id="custom">
<depends profile-id="default" />
<package package-id="thunderbird" />
</profile>
</profiles>
Which means, that if a host, defined in hosts.xml has a profile default (the first profile above), it will have acrobat and firefox installed - because profile id="default" contains these two packages.
Now take a look at <depends profile-id="default" /> entry in the next profile - <profile id="custom">. This profile only seems to contain a thunderbird package. But because it depends on <profile id="default">, which contains two more packages (acrobat and firefox) - it all sums up, and in the end, a host with a profile custom will have three packages installed: acrobat, firefox and thunderbird.
