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 problem with calling it a package is that it is supposed to be downloaded in a ZIP file. Now it is completely possible to ask the user to grab Drupal latest version and copy some install[ation] profile files into the folder (extract my zip file to that folder too). Install[ation] profile means that the stuff is not necceserily expected to be packages as a single pack, but will be together in installation time. Gabor
