Dear maintainer,

it is sometimes useful to be able to add a custom profile-set.

For that, it is nessesary to store it into e.g. a new file,
say `/usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/9999-custom.conf`
and append `.include 9999-custom.conf` at the end of 
`/usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/profile-sets/default.conf`.

But that change gets overriden when the package is updated,
which could be *exremely* dangerous, e.g. if said profile
changed the `volume-limit`.

It would be good if the package could ship an empty
`profile-sets/9999-custom.conf` file, and the appropriate change to the
`profile-sets/default.conf`. Then one could use `dpkg-divert`
on `9999-custom.conf to avoid profile loss on update.

Thank you!

Roman.
