Installing file outside package in /etc |

I'm creating a package for application which needs to install file outside of
the derivation directory.
The file in question is /etc/sudoers.d but it can be generalized for other
things like udev etc. I understand this won't be trivial since it modifies the
system and will probably require some wrapper with higher privileges. However,
I could not find any section in the Guix reference Manual.
The file is installed in the install phase. Is it the right phase or shall I
use different? If so how do I patch it?
Also if I compare the contents of GuixSD to NixOS, then the NixOS has more
files linked to /etc/static/ which then links to /nix/store. Could somebody
please explain what were/are the thoughts behind this?
Kind regards
