This is unavoidable anyway. Profile generation will be triggered by
dropins reconciler and/or auto-update. On the other hand, corporate
users will get an alternative, so may it would be good to disable those
mechanisms when profile spoofing is active?

Something like https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/18686/? I completed this a
second ago, and it looks like it works (well, at least it generates a
profile in a profileless test).  There is plenty of work going to be
done, and I will work on this next week (especially around invalidating
profile on base change, and marking bundles as not modifiable by the
user).
