Currently %installer-disk-utilities is not exported from (gnu system
install).  And even if it was, we'd still have to import it in (gnu
system), which would perhaps introduce a module cycle.

So I think the deprecation warning saying it's gone (i.e., using #f as
replacement) is the most accurate and least problematic option.
