To clarify: I do think this is the best solution, though the oddities I mentioned may warrant further investigation into potentially different issues.

In addition to those, I wonder why `guix build` shows that the cyclic package can't be found, rather than throwing an error as `guix import` does. Maybe it's worth fixing that, if possible, to not cause (worse) confusion?

Thanks,
Winter
