What you propose is what ‘guix system reconfigure’ does: it produces
/run/current-system/{channels,configuration}.scm and you can reuse them
right away.
The different with ‘guix package’ is that ‘guix system’ supports nothing
but a declarative mode, so it’s easy to do the above.
Conversely, profiles can be managed “imperatively”. Thus, in the
general case, it’s not possible to write a ‘manifest.scm’ file
corresponding to a profile.
I hope this clarifies the situation.
Ludo’.
