As for me, I think the current behaviour (looking for packages only in
the user and the system profiles) is the right one.  If you want to
auto-load emacs packages from some non-standard profiles, you can easily
do this on your own (as I showed in the previous message).

Anyway, if you think that some feature is missing, I would recommend to
send a message to <bug-guix@gnu.org> about it.  Perhaps other people
will agree with your point.
