Hi Nathan,

I've done that plenty of times before. That's usually how I install nix
on a foreign distro (i.e. by using apt or xbps (void linux), etc.)

What I'm asking about here is making it easy to install nix with guix on a 
foreign distro.

Currently, I can do the following on a foreign distro:

`guix install nix`

But the above will not set up the daemon service and create the build users, 
etc...

So, currently I'm not sure how we should go about supporting that on a foreign 
distro...

wdyt,

jgart
