This is difficult to follow, because Debian and NixOS do not seem to
apply the same fixes. For example, the former wraps "faketime" around
"tex -ini tex.ini" call whereas the latter wraps it around
"fmtutil-sys --all" call.
By the way, how do you call "faketime" from (guix build-system texlive)?
It is not possible to use (gnu packages check) module from there, isn't
it?
Note that Guix never runs "mtxrun --generate", so I don't think UUIDs
are a problem in our case.
Regards,
