This brings up another annoyance. Before a first 'git pull' as a
newbie you have to go through a number of steps which are, arguably,
redundant.

I am talking about installing a first key to trust the guix server.
Well, if we have installed guix AND we use guix pull, I think we can
assume the guix server is trusted (by the user). Therefore, that key
should work out of the box (it is what people install from the tree
anyway!). It is a redundant step. Debian also uses keys and works
out of the box.

The other thing is permissions. Sometimes the user profile needs
explicit permission settings. This is not right. I can see it is
useful on a server setup controlled by an administrator, but arguably
it should just work. The administrator can revert on that. So, if
possible, the default should be allowing guix to work once the daemon
runs.

Pj.
