so one is for the user profile, one is for the Guix "checkout".

In /var/guix/gcroots/auto, you'll find symlinks to custom profiles,
e.g. ~/.my-guix-profile.
If you remove ~/.my-guix-profile, then the symlink in /var/guix/gcroots/auto
will be broken and automatically removed by Guix. Makes sense?
Can you suggest a better phrasing?

That could be a good solution indeed. What do you people think?
