Precisely.

This would be even better, IMO.  But after reviewing some files, I think
this is just my personal take on it, not a guix standard.  So your patch,
your take.

Makes sense.  The only time I've used pmbootstrap was for analysing
android images, so I've given this functionality undue primacy.  I guess
we may keep it as is for now and move it elsewhere on a separate commit
if others see fit.

You may also do it by sending a mail to control <at> debbugs.gnu.org, as
I've done here.  There's no special priviledge to it.  See:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/server-control.html

Note: I'm not a commiter, I'm just trying to help this patch get through
by helping commiters with the review and giving it more visibility.

Thanks!
