While I agree that we should avoid duplication, note that (guix build
utils) is build-side code, so changing it causes rebuilds.

(guix import utils) may not necessarily be useful. I’m wary of packages
that provide “miscellaneous” tools and I think we should avoid that.
In more focused cases like the monads code I agree that it would be nice
to break these out into separate projects.
