Ricardo tested Emacs 25 with this package definition:
<http://paste.lisp.org/display/320941> and noticed that it doesn't find
Emacs packages in ~/.guix-profile.
This happens because "site-start.el" in the inherited package is placed
"/share/emacs/24.5/site-lisp" directory (the version part is wrong). To
avod this, we can put "site-start.el" into a non-versioned site-lisp
directory. The patch is attached.

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: emacs: Install site-start.el in non-versioned directory.
Reported by Ricardo Wurmus on #guix.
* gnu/packages/emacs.scm (emacs)[arguments]: Put "site-start.el" in
"/share/emacs/site-lisp" instead of "/share/emacs/<version>/site-lisp"
to let inherited package with another version find it.
