I know some packages automatically install repository keys, I don't really 
like it.

No. Other than the basic checks from dpkg where it will complain if it tries 
to overwrite a file.

This package is somewhat inferior to the binary installation instructions as 
it currently stands the guix scheme libraries go into 
/usr/share/guile/site/2.0/guix.

I discovered this causes trouble by trying to use a guix git tree I'd 
compiled. That didn't work right until after I'd rebuilt it with:
$ guix environment guix 
$ ./bootstrap ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var

I'm wondering if the debian build script should build guix, then and then do 

$ guix package --no-substitutes -i guix

And install what ended up in /gnu/store

However I haven't checked to see if there's a way to start the guix-daemon in 
temporary location. The Debian build utilities assume it can cause things to 
be built in a subdirectory of the source tree by manipulating environment 
variables.
