I'm glad you like it!

It's because the boot sector for ARM, for some unfathomable reason, is not

Hi Mathieu,
from the standpoint of ARM it would be really good to be able to reuse
genimage config files from buildroot.
In fact, partition layout is a major pain in the ass to get right on ARM.
If we want to support a large number of ARM platforms, that would
mean the partitioning would be fixed

Yep, LGTM too

FYI, I'm investigating the test suite failures for the newer
releases of genimage (v11 (+1 FAIL) & v12 (+2 FAIL))...
I think I'll report / PR them upstream before updating
guix's version, to avoid unnecessary churn.
