For others to add: One of the federated sources of this overlay and the
only source with webview is at https://gnunet.org/git/
In the youbroketheinternet-overlay repository Guix is located in sys-apps/guix/

As debugging can be difficult on Gentoo, and it could be just that - a
Gentoo problem - I'll send in details tomorrow on how a very minimal
(gentoo) system looks/behaves with the guix from the gentoo-overlay
installed.

But if this is a problem with Guix, someone else could help independent
from what I'll contribute.
