Hi,

Just a couple notes here regarding the concrete questions.  I'm sure
there are good solutions but I don't know what they are yet!

I think Guix does this already; see %lightweight-optimizations in (guix
build compile).

Not really; the declarative modules optimization only really helps cases
where inlining would help.  For package definitions, there's not much to
inline, I don't think.  Given that the consideration is compile-time
rather than run-time I would not think that declarative modules would
help.
