This could be done with something like:

However, this would only work for the default values of ‘packages’. In
other cases, users would have to add (file-system-packages …) explicitly
by themselves, which is not great.
Alternately, we could turn ‘%base-packages’ into a macro that expands
to something like:
(gimme-the-base-packages this-operating-system)
but that wouldn’t be great because now you’d be unable to refer to
‘%base-packages’ like a regular variable, outside the lexical context of
an ‘operating-system’ form.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
