I could not find documentation on this circumstance or how to resolve.
Both 'parallel' and 'moreutils' produce a 'bin/parallel' and only one
can go in the $GUIX_PROFILE.

Creating a container, the latter package overshadows the former
package, as below. Unclear if this is consistent. In my manifest the
former package overshadows the latter (I'd prefer to have parallel's
parallel, but by default I have sorted the listing alphabetically). Is
there a better way to fix this?

This is operating from a recent guix pull:
