In practical terms it probably doesn't matter but the "images" and 
"overlay-images" targets don't do anything when up to date, and I think 
the "profiles" target should do the same. So if it's okay with you, I 
will leave it.

A passing thought, I wonder if "profile-images" might be a more 
consistent name for the top-level target.
