I dual-booted Guix with another gnu/linux-libre distro.
My configuration includes the other distro in the grub menu. When I run
"sudo guix system delete-generations" the changes to the grub menu drop
the other distro with the older system generations of guix.

My current work-around for this is to run "guix system reconfigure ..."
which includes the boot menu entries specified in the configuration.
