  We present a unified parameterization of the fitting functions suitable for
density profiles of dark matter haloes or elliptical galaxies. A notable
feature is that the classical Einasto profile appears naturally as the
continuous limiting case of the cored subfamily amongst the double power-law
profiles of Zhao (1996). Based on this, we also argue that there is basically
no qualitative difference between halo models well-fitted by the Einasto
profile and the standard NFW model. This may even be the case quantitatively
unless the resolutions of simulations and the precisions of fittings are
sufficiently high to make meaningful distinction possible.
