This is a mostly solved problem on the Guix side.  We either use search
paths, or in case a single file is really, absolutely, positively
needed, we can also make do with a profile hook or some other lookup
mechanism (see below).  In either case, we let packages write to *their
own* output directory rather than some other packages'.

For udev specifically, we have configuration files that specify where
to look up stuff generated by udev-service-type.  You might want to
place hwdb-related logic there.

Cheers
