Actually, profiling the set will do much to harm the photographic image.
For Example:
1. A Photographer lights for mood. A profile of the set will undo this.
2. A Photographer mixes colored light. A Profile of this will create
color "cross-overs" on set.
3. Photographers use many light heads on set. They will all need to be
less than 50 degrees Kelvin from one another in order to not cause a
color problem (the digital camerabacks can see the color temp
differential.
You should only be profiling the color response of the Camera. Leave the
set color and "feel" to photography.
