describe-package and list-packages do not show emacs packages, installed
with guix. Packages themselves work perfectly fine, but not listed in
list-packages and can't be accessed with describe-package.

Way to reproduce:

guix environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs emacs-treemacs

emacs -q

M-x treemacs ;; Works fine
C-h P treemacs ;; Doesn't work
M-x list-packages ;; Doesn't list treemacs

Played around with it a little bit, still not sure how to solve.

At long last, I'm pushing the patch to keep -pkg.el files as well as to
load them from guix-emacs during package-initialize.  I'll hereby be
closing this bug.  Andrew, if you wish to write a phase that adds such
a file for the packages currently lacking them, I'm pretty sure we can
do with a new bug number for that :)

Thanks everyone involved for your help and patience.  Cheers
