Not just this, but also that somebody may consider changing the cookbook.
The guix-cookbook describes a (local-file "."), not "../..",
You are looking at "7.2 Level 1: Building with Guix".
See "7.2 Level 2: The Repository as a Channel",
https://guix.gnu.org/en/cookbook/en/html_node/The-Repository-as-a-Channel.html,
where there is a "../.." in the 'local-file' argument.
I guess it needs no changes, or should we add a hint not to ..?
I think it needs some changes, a warning at least. Also I think that
keeping the package definition in additional nested directory like
'.guix/modules/guile/package.scm' is not so bad and can replace
a '.guix/modules/guile-package.scm' variant.
