Oh, we're talking about different things then.

Installing (in any sense) emacs will add its dependencies to the 
store (your ‘install’), but doesn't propagate them into the 
profile (my ‘install’):

 ~ λ guix environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs
 ~ λ dot
 bash: dot: command not found

I tend to avoid the unqualified term ‘install’ on Guix for this 
reason.  Sorry for the confusion!

Kind regards,

T G-R
