Install profile is confusing . Part of the confusion is that, grammatically, it should be "Installation profile." (Nouns can be adjectives, and nouns can be verbed, but verbs can't be adjectives.)
Installation profile works for me, but I prefer package configuration or package description. If the file will be *.profile, then package profile seems good.
The main source of confusion, to me, is that it is a term with historical baggage, and its ambiguity means different things to different people. Profile can be confused with Drupal's profile module as well. Package seems to convey the right idea, and has no historical use in Drupal. How about "package set", or even just "package"?
