I'd personally put it in (guix describe) and use the same autoload
trick, that you've now used for %package-module-path (or a dedicated
save-...-excursion).  (guix ui) has a heavy closure for (guix describe)
to pull.

I haven't tested that yet (pre-inst-env makes it so Guix doesn't have
any channels anyway), but yeah, something like that would have been my
idea.
