FTP master (rather, the "prime" dak instance) can be changed with so
little delay that we shouldn't worry too much about that particular
case. We may cause more problems just directly outside of Debian (eg.
Ubuntu's use of Lintian) or — as you mention — where the usage of
profiles is distributed across a team.

None of these is perfect but this is far the least problematic for
me (eg. "->" is multiple character, ">" and "#" would require escaping
on the command line, "@" appears to add a misleading meaning etc. etc.)
