As I mentioned in a previous e-mail in #67292, it does provide a 
facility -- not mentioned: by default, the first package in the list is 
prioritized.

If the collision is not a problem then Guix shouldn't be warning about 
it -- as such, the collision handling needs to be adjusted to not emit a 
warning in this case.
