Hey Guix,
I've already asked about this on IRC, but since the people responsible
for the changes didn't seem to be present I'll ask here too.
I use EXWM so I've installed ‘emacs’ and ‘emacs-exwm’ in my system
profile. Additionally I've installed Emacs packages (‘emacs-org’,
‘emacs-pdf-tools’, ‘emacs-emms’, etc.) in my user profile. Since the
changes to the way Emacs packages are handled this no longer works,
i.e. Emacs no longer knows about the packages installed in my user
profile.
I can work around it by installing ‘emacs’ to my user profile. But it
doesn't make much sense to me that I have to install ‘emacs’ “twice”
just so an environment variable is set.
Is this an intended consequence of the recent changes or should this be
considered a bug?
Regards,
Diego

This is bug #20255 [0], where the system and user profile environment
variables are not merged at the time /etc/profile is sourced.
