It appears to me the contrary, no? That ~/.guix-profile is special here. Well, using a multi-profiles style management, it appears to me adequate to install "man" (or man-db) once, i.e., in one profile say ~/.cache/guix/profiles/utilities, and then install other packages, say git, in another profile, say ~/, .cache/guix/profiles/tools, etc. With the current design, each profile other than ~/.guix-profile requires 'man-db' which seems unfortunate, non?
