This could be a regular Guix CI spec where each job would have the
result of ‘squashfs-image’ as its derivation.

That machine could use berlin as its substitute server.  In the
(hopefully unlikely) case that a substitute is missing for one of the
packages of interests, it would build it, but I don’t think that’s much
of a problem.

Sounds like a good way to get started with this!

Thanks,
