Hi !! I've just given the binary tarball a spin on Devuan. Worked almost flawlessly (daemonize wasn't installed and I missed the part when it was mentioned because I was a bit in a hurry but apart from that the overall experience was great — the guix text art was surprising in a good kind of way).

Hi Rovanion there was a problem with the profile hook. It only did half of the work that “texlive-union” normally does. “texlive-union” is used for packages only, but some of the steps it performs should also have been done by the profile hook. Commit a6b8794c69446730b5f12eb8eefc5ef3b99c
