During a package install (of guix itself) I see "updating list of
substitutes" messages repeated through the install, not just at the
start.  Is that as it should be?  I expected guix to use a recent cached
version.

It is “normal” yes, but arguably suboptimal:

I hope we can fix it soonish, but it’s a bit involved.
