Ok, moving vte to propagated-inputs for gnome-terminal makes
~/.guix-profile/etc/profile.d/vte.sh show up if installed with `guix
package` and /etc/profile.d/vte.sh show up if installed with `guix system`.

Neither ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile or /etc/profile source their
respective profile.d files though like Trisquel does. Can someone give
me a lead on how these profiles are generated?

Regards,
Ben
