It is not "instead of". We want to install all of them, while, when
possible, generating them from source.

Let's assume for a second Guix provides all TeX Live packages
piece-wise. The idea is that if someone installs all the packages, they
would get the whole TeX Live distribution, including the sources, i.e.,
the "texlive" package.
