I think automated installs are better served by what we have today.
What I had in mind was an interactive tool.

Once you’ve booted the installation image, you can run:
guix package -i wget openssh
We could add, say, wget to the standard set of packages in (gnu system
install), but we’d need to make sure it doesn’t take too much extra
space.

This has been asked many times, so surely we’ll end up doing that one
day or another. :-)
