That's an auto-created, in-memory profile with the default settings in
case you don't have a matching connection file. As long as you don't
change any of the defaults, no physical file is created on disk.

We could argue, that changing the default for ip6-privacy is probably
sensible nowadays, I'm just a bit worried to do this that late in the
jessie release cycle, since there might be side effects.

Dan, what are your thoughts on this?
