Hi. The last paragraph of [[info:guix#Invoking guix package]] says:
However, note that package transformations are lost when upgrading;
to preserve transformations across upgrades, you should define your
own package variant in a Guile module and add it to
‘GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH’ (*note Defining Packages::).
This contradicts the earlier information, in the same section, about
`guix package -u':
When upgrading, package transformations that were originally applied
when creating the profile are automatically re-applied (*note Package
Transformation Options::).
Regards

I think it is fixed with the recent version of the manual. Could you
confirm?
All the best,
