No further comments, so I've pushed the change to the emacs-29
branch. Closing the bug.

I agree, but here we have the case, that two complex variables have been
transformed into user options in order to offer more convenient ways to
modify them. So we must handle both cases, modification by other
packages due to call of connection-local-set-profiles or
connection-local-set-profile-variables, and modification in the
customization buffer.

Best regards, Michael.
