This worked, but in a rather strange way. .guix-profile did not exist
yet. It was created as a symbolic link to the new file
.guix-profile-1-link, itself a symbolic link to
/nix/store/1n6bpxkjq2w1m8nlyc6c6bpf0y8rspi0-user-environment .

I deleted the redirection and let .guix-profile point to /nix/store/...
directly. Then adding a second package recreates the previous situation,
with .guix-profile-1-link pointing to a different user environment
in /nix/store. And after removing the second package, I get a
.guix-profile-2-link pointing to the previous user environment in
/nix/store. Interesting!

As for the rough edges, installing the hello package twice results in
an error message, too.

Another question: My guix source and compile directory gets populated
with symbolic links t-profile* to files /nix/store/*user-environment
that survive even to "make distclean". I suppose I can safely delete them?
If yes, could they be deleted by "make clean"?
