Environment Variable: GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH

This is a colon-separated list of directories to search for additional package modules. Directories listed in this variable take precedence
over the own modules of the distribution.

The last sentence makes it sound like GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH will always have
precedence over the official guix channel.

TBH I don't really understand what that second sentence is trying to say, so I can't judge whether it's misleading or not.

How about something like

“Any packages they define will be added to the pool of available packages. Standard package specification rules apply: when given a package name without an unambiguous version number, Guix will always pick the highest version of that package regardless of where it came from.”
