Hi!

I observe the following weird behavior, where the first invocation
wrongfully expands ‘-D gnutls’ into a list of package specs, whereas the
other invocations (only slightly different) lead to calls to
‘package->development-manifest’ as expected:

This had to due with profile caching: cached profiles would be taken
into account, leading to the “expanded view” because the ‘-D’
information would be lost in that case.

Fixed in 30915a7419d48c6a5dcfdc3a1547268ac406a9ef.
