Finally got around to this.

It does.

http_proxy is set (and exported) in user shell and in the daemon process.
No.

No. Whenever the daemon is doing the downloading, http_proxy is
ignored and I get "Temporary failure in name resolution" because the
VM doesn't have an internet DNS.
As I said earlier, guix has guile-2.0.11 in the hashbang. But
guix-daemon seems to be making use of guile-bootstrap.
If I provoke it a bit I get this:

... so it's pretty clear that *something* in there is still
referencing the bootstrap guile. But maybe that's expected? Are the
guile packages built using only the bootstrap and not themselves?

Why so many different guile drivers? Is that expected?

No problem!
