It is in the image, in the form of the (gnu system install) module.

However, I don’t quite understand the use case: you’d like to hack on
the OS declaration of the image from within the image?  That sounds
inconvenient no?

When hacking on that image, I simply do that from my main GuixSD
installation with:

  guix system vm gnu/system/install.scm

HTH,
