So you have profile=default (and optionally, for backward compatibility,
script-config=default/config).  What you /are/ missing, however, is
the userdata (setup.fstab, setup.copyfiles, setup.nssdatabases, etc.)
which replace the config file.

This is intentional.  I'll need to look at why the userdata isn't
being set on your system--it certainly was for me during testing.
I'll have to see if there's some corner case which prevents it
being set.

The three settings which were in the config file are now settable
directly in the main configuration, and in addition this is now
extensible by the admin, so you can freely add additional keys
here for use in your own setup scripts, or to further customise
the existing ones.  If you had your own config files (not the
conffiles above), the script-config setting and setup scripts
will continue to allow them to be sourced.
