I should also say: I'm not considering how "guix deploy" could or would
handle running on top of Debian *or* handle HOME directories.  Both of
those feel out of scope to me, but for different reasons:

 - "guix deploy" would deploy by, well, building guix system profiles
   and then pushing them out.  So I'm not sure how Debian would fit in
   there...
 - Mutable state of the system is hard to tackle.  We might need to
   tackle some degree of it, but I think that would be in
   post-install-hooks type things which might sometimes do that
   on server?
