Do you have a specific example in mind?  They normally build the exact
same thing.

All that said, I think it’s fine to recommend “guix pull -p” in the
manual, but I just wanted to make sure people know about “make
as-derivation”, which can be slightly more convenient in cases where you
don’t want to commit the change to test it.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
