As I mentioned in a previous e-mail in #67292, it does provide a 
facility -- not mentioned: by default, the first package in the list is 
prioritized.

> But also, I don't think this is necessary here, because in a Guix-installed Emacs, the paths to Guix-installed Emacs-related packages appear first in Emacs' load-path variable, whereas the paths to the elisp-directories from Emacs itself come last. Thus, emacs-transient's transient.el is always preferred over Emacs' transient.el.

If the collision is not a problem then Guix shouldn't be warning about 
it -- as such, the collision handling needs to be adjusted to not emit a 
warning in this case.
