Interesting. You are best off creating an Issue (https://issues.guix.gnu.org), explaining the situation and attaching your patch there. I don't know which team is likely to pick this up, so it might be worth seeing if anyone on guix-devel has an interest when you have the bug number. If you can please reference any AWS documentation that supports the need for the top-level directories to be in the previous layer. Steve / Futurile
