I think one would also need to deal with the fact that a recursive
import is likely to include several versions of the same package,

and I think rebasing might end up requiring a bit of rewriting since it
appears to me that some of the interfaces used in the guix-npm-binary
importer have changed since it was written

Kind regards,
