I suggest you ...

Add the ability to transform Web.Config without rebuilding

Allow Web.Config transforms to be applied to a deployment package without a rebuild under a different configuration.
QA packages can then be converted to production release packages without fear of introducing any subsequent changes.
Add ins exist but would prefer to have built in support

    Thanks for the suggestion. If I understand you correctly you want to be able to create a single Web Deploy package and then use that to publish to multiple destinations, including executing the web.config transform?

    We are certainly looking at this scenario. I have created a prototype of what this support might look like. I’d love to get your thoughts on it. I’ve created a 5 minute video. You can take a look at http://sedodream.com/2012/03/14/PackageWebUpdatedAndVideoBelow.aspx.

        PackageWeb is good first pass prototype! Can you look to support all .config files, not just web.config?

        Love this idea. IMO, the Package/Publish features in ASP.Net/Visual Studio is incomplete without having this!
