Why can't they? Like I wrote, ‘default-guile’ returns a package whereas ‘%guile-for-build’ returns a derivation. The latter is inherently lower-level: it’s used together with the monadic interface or with plain ‘derivation’, when we know which system we’re targeting. The former is higher-level, system-independent; it must be used for <computed-file> and similar forms, which are system-independent. Ludo’.
