flow-tools is pretty tiny as far as dependencies go.

With this update libnffile pulls in rrd dependencies now anyway
so I don't see a point in _not_ merging nfprofile?

Generally we only split into subpackages when dependencies are
heavier than either of these.

Re dropping - nfprofile is needed for NfSen isn't it?
