This is what I do. Or, more accurately, I copy it into my home.scm file
and use the package object directly. That way it's clear why it exists,
and it's easier to remove when I no longer need it.

I don't know about best practice, but I think at one point I did use
inferiors for this (which is what time machine users under the hood).
Unfortunately I can't remember why I stopped.
If you'd like to go this way, the documentation in "(guix) Inferiors"
has a short example of getting a package out of a different Guix
version. It's pretty straightforward.
