That’s already happening:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ head -3 < $(guix build reuse)/bin/reuse | tail -1
exec -a "$0"
"/gnu/store/iwsddc43xqxz4ibncrd7cgv4qjdy0jjd-reuse-1.0.0/bin/.reuse-real" "$@"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I’m not sure why it doesn’t have the desired effect though.
