This phase is no longer necessary after the recent 'core-updates' merge.

These paths are "impure": the contents will differ from system to
system, and are also unavailable in e.g. 'guix environment -container'.
It might be better to patch these directories to something nonsensical
like "/no-such-path": that ensures we catch any missing references.

That's not always feasible though, but hopefully works for this
package.
