One of the prerequisites to being able to use drush_make for automated packaging of install profiles on d.o would be the ability to force a certain download type as the default if it wasn't explicitly defined. For example, we envision adding a DrupalOrg download type (see #588486: Support necesarry limitations for drupal.org) which would have some special characteristics and requirements. However, we don't want d.o profile maintainers to hard-code that into the .(info|make) files. This would be ugly:

projects[views][download][type] = DrupalOrg
projects[panels][download][type] = DrupalOrg
projects[ctools][download][type] = DrupalOrg

It'd be nice to just invoke drush_make with --default-download-type=DrupalOrg and those rules would be used.
