The original problem was to copy a profile from another machine and use 
it, guix copy <profile> does not add the profile to the list of 
profiles. But it is the same problem when sharing profile with another 
user on the same machine.

Good to know, I would prefer guix copy <profile> to handle adding the 
symlinks. Or to have a subcommand for that to avoid fiddling with 
"internal Guix scheming".

Thanks to both of you for your help !
