I think it is not the right place: you modify only 'process-query'
procedure, but there is also 'process-actions', so the following command
will still fail:

  guix package -p /tmp/test-profile/ -i hello

while the following succeeds:

  guix package -p /tmp/test-profile -i hello

So I would rather modify 'canonicalize-profile' procedure in that
module.  I think it will be a general solution for --profile option.
