Yes, this is correct. A manifest declares the contents of a single
profile. By passing a manifest file to “guix package -m” you tell it to
only install the declared packages and remove everything else.
You can instantiate different manifest to different profiles by also
passing “-p /path/to/other/profile”. You can combine them in a session
by source-ing each of the profiles’ “etc/profile” files.

It’s better to send separate emails.
