Fair enough. For something as basic as a bootloader, I guess it's better
for it to be contained in one place anyway. I'm now reasonably sure that
it works fine in this configuration.
I've amended the description and applied your patch to guix master.
(If we wanted to add the original functionality anyway, grub-efi already
requires something like it and could be used as a template).
