Is it so bad to "just hit enter", and you get the default, "plain" profile?

You are prompted once per host. But you are "only" prompted once.
You can disable the prompting by touching ~/.screenrc-profile, or
seeding it correctly. Would it help if there were a low debconf
configuration parameter to set this, and allow for preseeding?

In designing this, we tried to follow the model we implemented for
sensible-editor in Intrepid. Defaulting to "nano" as the system-wide
editor was seen as rather debilitating to power-Ubuntu users. So we
created select-editor to allow for per-user editor selection, in an
interactive manner that allowed a user to make a selection on first
invocation (and didn't require them to use an editor to set their
preference).
