Actually i tested that but my needs are a bit different. I just wanted a profile that would create a preconfigured drupal installation. I don't want the contrib modules to be inside the profile dir.

There's something fishy thought : putting a makefile inside de profile seems to download the contrib modules to the profile dir, but when you put a makefile in a contrib module (or feature), the modules are downloaded to the site/all/modules dir.
Have you also noticed this or am I doing some wrong ?
