Cool, seems we can get -pkg.el files back.

Yep, the last snippet supports multi-profile Emacs. Installing packages
for Emacs via a few different package manager sounds like a very bad
practice) I agree that current implementation with updating variables
isn't perfect and it doesn't cover the use case, which I expect to be
rare (packages from Guix will be listed in list-packages, files from
foreign distro PM won't). I can dive into package.el implementation and
spend some time next week providing a different workaround.
BTW, can you remind me why we do not place packages under
site-lisp/elpa/NAME-VERSION? It seems almost the same as
site-lisp/NAME-VERSION, but everything related to describe-package and
other functions will work out of the box. This way it will work even
with a foreign distro use case.
