It's not Debian-specific.  It is a bug in Guix.

It should try to create a namespace and properly report an error 
iff that fails, not prematurely abort after farting about in 
/proc.

A separate unprivileged-user-namespace-supported? is broken by 
design.  Reverting commit 8bc5ca5 works around this but it wasn't 
to blame.

Kind regards,

T G-R
