With "guix pack", you can already create a Docker image that contains
arbitrary files.  Just define whatever packages you need in order to
install the things you want, and "guix pack --format=3Ddocker" will create
a Docker image of exactly what you declare, without building upon any
existing Docker image.  Is this different from what you had in mind?

Once "guix system docker-image" gets added, you will be able to do the
same thing for an entire GuixSD system:
