> Oh, so that's how.  I think it would be nice-to-have if the user could also override the bootloader package used.

The user could already write :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(bootloader-configuration
 (inherit %grub-configuration)
 (bootloader my-grub))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Or am I wrong here ?

I'm not sure here, maybe not exposing installers would be better here.
