Almost right. The second manifest (/home/gfp/.guix-profile/manifest) is 
not the kind of manifest you can pass to the --manifest option. So, 
instead, get a manifest from your current main profile by exporting it 
as follows:

    guix package --export-manifest > manifest-main.scm

At this point, you can run:

    guix package -m /home/gfp/Projekte/Emacs/emacs.scm -m manifest-main.scm

Finally, you can save your manifests wherever you want and edit them as 
you want for future upgrades of your profile(s).

For more information about why /home/gfp/.guix-profile/manifest can't be 
passed as a manifest, you can read the comments in that file. For example:

    emacs .guix-profile/manifest

Please let us know if things worked well.
