Hi,

I don't think a user needs another warning for an environment variable
which he setted by himself. Also, user could use ‘-L’ flag instead of
‘GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH’.
Currently,
with ‘hello’ package in GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
oleg@guixsd ~/src/guix-master$ GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/oleg/src/guix-wigust/guix ./pre-inst-env guix build --no-grafts --no-offload hello
guix build: warning: ambiguous package specification `hello'
guix build: warning: choosing hello@2.10 from /home/oleg/src/guix-wigust/guix/wigust/packages/games.scm:174:2
/gnu/store/a462kby1q51ndvxdv3b6p0rsixxrgx1h-hello-2.10
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
without ‘hello’ package in GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
oleg@guixsd ~/src/guix-master$ GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/oleg/src/guix-wigust/guix ./pre-inst-env guix build --no-grafts --no-offload hello
/gnu/store/a462kby1q51ndvxdv3b6p0rsixxrgx1h-hello-2.10
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It's already documented, isn't it?
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Package-Modules.html
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
-- Environment Variable: GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
This is a colon-separated list of directories to search for
additional package modules. Directories listed in this variable
take precedence over the own modules of the distribution.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I'll close the bug. Feel free to reopen if I miss something.
Regards,
Oleg.
