Not exactly, to include Guix inside the installer image, it somehow
needs to refer to itself.  The way it used to be done was by using the
`guix` package, which necessarily is older than the current commit.
However, we also implemented the `current-guix` hack that basically uses
a guix checkout at the current guix version as the source for the guix
package.  In both cases though, we shouldn't see any differences in
other package's derivations…

Best,
