Fine, so if I run update-guix-package.scm and then do the install, I get
what I expect, right?

I am looking for a reasonably straightforward way to have everything in
my Guix universe (the guix command line tool, emacs-guix, guile, geiser,
...) consistently use my personal version of the package definitions.

Yes, that makes sense.
