I don’t think this matches the definition of a side effect. ;-) But yes, that means you possibly end up pulling an extra package just to build the profile. It’s actually already the case: the profile is built by running ‘guile-final’, so when you don’t have it in the store, it gets built just to be able to build the profile (unless you passed --bootstrap).
