install --profile=releasewould definitely be redundant, as wouldbuild --profile=debug?Yes.
That sounds great. :)

Describe the problem you are trying to solve
I am writing a script that wraps cargo, and lets the user pass flags to it. Per default I want everything to be done in release mode, but the user should be able to select debug mode.
Unfortunately, the way to do that is non-uniform:
installdefaults to release and can be passed--debug;builddefaults to debug can can be passed--release. This all makes sense, but what is frustrating is that I cannot doinstall --releaseorbuild --debug, so now I need some complicated logic to strip away the--releaseflag when we are installing or the--debugflag when we are building.Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like a consistent way to force debug/release builds across all cargo commands, mostly to avoid needlessly rebuilding stuff. So all applicable commands should accept
--debugto do a debug build even if that is their default, and same for--release.
