When you do
guix package -m path/to/manifest.scm
It shall *replace* the packages in your default profile
(~/.guix-profile) with those specified by the manifest.
But if you instead do
guix package -p path/to/some/profile -m path/to/manifest.scm
It shall modify/initialize the profile you specified :)
Best,
Wojtek
