@subsection Emacs Packages
When you install Emacs packages with Guix, the elisp files may be placed
either in @file{$HOME/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/} or in
sub-directories of
@file{$HOME/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/guix.d/}. The latter
directory exists because potentially there may exist thousands of Emacs
packages and storing all their files in a single directory may be not
reliable (because of name conflicts). So we think using a separate
directory for each package is a good idea. It is very similar to how
the Emacs package system organizes the file structure (@pxref{Package
Files,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
By default, Emacs (installed with Guix) ``knows'' where these packages
are placed, so you don't need to perform any configuration. If, for
some reason, you want to avoid auto-loading Emacs packages installed
with Guix, you can do it by running Emacs with @code{--no-site-file}
option (@pxref{Init File,,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}).
