I ended up doing that in d664f1b.  Please check d664f1b and d995942 and
report and issues/bugs.

Part of the initial problem you reported had to do with combining
profiles (perl in one profile, perl-xml-parser in another.)  This part
is not addressed yet, and it turns out to be more common than I
initially thought: consider for instance MANPATH (with man-db installed
in the system profile and man pages in the user’s profile.)

Unfortunately the etc/profile files are not going to allow us to solve
that.  ‘guix package --search-paths’ could do the actual combination,
though.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
