Clone Config
~~~~~~~~~~~~

This profile is used in installer images. It provides an editable
configuration.nix that imports all the modules that were also used when
creating the image in the first place. As a result it allows users to edit
and rebuild the live-system.

On images where the installation media also becomes an installation target,
copying over ``configuration.nix`` should be disabled by
setting ``installer.cloneConfig`` to ``false``.
For example, this is done in ``sd-image-aarch64.nix``.
