The reason I want two commits is strategic. This first patch can go into master *now*, without breaking anything or causing a full rebuild. Moving that procedure into (guix build utils) is nice, but not strictly necessary. I am trying to get basic container support in shape and into master. Waiting on a core-updates cycle would just stall the process. - Dave
