1 TL; DR
========
I have installed the `emacs-ess' package in my system. The way it has
created files in `~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/' makes me
thnk that the package needs to be fixed in order for it to be
consistent with how other Guix packages for Emacs organize files in
`~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/'.
I'm not familiar with build systems yet, so I can't determine if the
package is correctly written. I'm reporting what I found with the hope
that someone else could confirm whether the package needs to be fixed
or not.
2 The context
=============
Let's suppose that I'm interested in using the Emacs packages
`ace-window' (name of the Guix package is `emacs-ace-window') and
`helpful' (name of the Guix package is `emacs-helpful'). I'd install
them as follows.
,----
| guix package -i emacs-ace-window -i emacs-helpful
| guix package -l

Upon completion, the directory
`~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp', where Emacs package are
installed, looks as shown in the code block below. As you can see,
each Emacs package is stored in a separated directory.

Now, let me revert to my first generation and install those two
packages again and also include `emacs-ess'.
,----
| guix package -S 1
| guix package -d 2
| guix package -i emacs-ace-window -i emacs-helpful -i emacs-ess
`----
Upon completion, the directory
`~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/' looks as shown below. As you
can see, besides the directory for some of the packages, there are
multiple files that start with `ess-' which seem to belong to the
`emacs-ess' package. In contrast with other packages, files from the
Guix package `emacs-ess' live in
`~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/' instead of a separated
directory.

It is worth mentioning that the functions are still visible to Emacs
because `~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/' is added to
`load-path', by default. I confirmed this by creating a new user,
installing Emacs, and printing the `load-path' (see two code blocks
below).

Because the functions are still loaded, I can still use them, so
that's not a big problem. However, it doesn't seem clean to me because
`ess-*' files are spilled over instead of existing in a separate
directory under `~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/' as other
packages do.
3 The questions
===============
+ Is there a reason why `ess' packages are spilled over instead of
existing in a separated directory?
+ Does the `emacs-ess' Guix package need to be fixed?
4 Additional information
========================
I looked up the Guix package definitions so as to try to find the root
cause. I noticed that the two Emacs packages that I mentioned
`emacs-ace-window' (see 1st code block below) and `emacs-helpful' (see
2nd code block below) use `emacs-build-system', while `emacs-ess' (see
3rd code block below) use `gnu-build-system'.

include
