Re: Alternatives to --emulate-fhs on foreign distros

The context is that my R package calls a bunch of shell scripts stored inside 
it. I am getting errors about /usr/bin/env not being available (e.g. bad 
interpreter: no such file or directory), so was thinking that their shebangs 
were not getting patched. It's not clear to me how thorough Guix is being at 
finding these.
