This seems to indicate that instead of having a different profile for
laptops, you could also just implement this in a different way in
debian-edu, similar to the way pkgsel/tasksel currently work to select
the laptop task.
Please give that some thought.
Especially if the profile question is only asked in expert mode anyway it
seems to me that debian-edu could just be modified to do the laptop test
by running laptop-detect in the target environment after base
installation and adding the extra packages at that point.
If it needs to be optional then - given that you are in expert mode which
IMO implies the user is prepared to answer more questions - a question
whether to install laptop packages can also be asked at that point.
I really do not see a strong case for having laptop-detect as a udeb here,
sorry.
