Trying to understand what that would imply, I stumbled upon my
ignorance of how to test attempts at implementing that.

Would the following be useful :
make + pre-inst guix system container in a git checkout / branch
with modifications to nix/libstore/builtins.cc::builtinDownload (for
the server part)

Then how to implement the "asking the server to change its
proxy setting" ? Where should I look ?

What UI (client-side) ?

`guix daemon set-proxy` or something like that ?

I.e. I'm willing to try, but will need guidance...
