Let’s assume someone is getting an error in the installer for some
reason.  If they are Guix developers, maybe they understand the issue
from the (trimmed) backtrace.  If they are not well-versed in Unix,
with the backtrace they can exfiltrate the (trimmed) error with a
camera.  I hope I understand the purpose correctly.  Maybe it saves
the people on the mailing list complicated explanations.  These maybes
become more likely with a fuller backtrace, I suppose.

Regards,
Florian
