Oh!  Do they work on GitLab?  How?  Could you compare how your images
differ from a

guix pack guix bash-minimal coreutils-minimal net-base --save-provenance -S 
/bin=bin -S /share=share -f docker --image-tag=guix --max-layers=8

image?  Which is basically what my 'slim' image is.

Indeed it would be nice to understand how these compare, and if there is
some requirement in mine, yours or MetaCall Guix images that cannot be
merged into the same image somehow.

A basic sanity check would probably if they are built from purely Guix
sources, right?  My impression was that the MetaCall Guix images are
more similar to my Debian+Guix images, or has that changed?  That is,
combines some other OS like Alpine or Debian with Guix installed on it.
Sorry if I'm completely misrepresenting things here, please help me
understand this space.
