Something that would cover this use case be a HOME-ENVIRONMENT field for
user-accounts in /etc/config.scm:

  (user-account
   (name "paren")
   ...
   (home-environment
    ...))

which could either be a file-like that evaluates to a Scheme file that
returns a HOME-ENVIRONMENT object, or a HOME-ENVIRONMENT by itself:

  ;; with local-file
  (home-environment
   (local-file
    (string-append (dirname (get-current-filename))
                   "/home-paren.scm")))

  ;; with home-environment
  (home-environment
   (home-environment
    (services (cons* ...))
    (packages (list ...))))
