The `texlivetexmf' package has a `#:substitutable #f' flag. Unless I=E2=80= =99m mistaken, you=E2=80=99re probably downloading its source before building it. > What is the rationale for the monolithic package, please?

Back in the days, it was the only way to get a proper TeX Live experience within Guix. It is not the case anymore. However, Andreas Enge (Cc=E2=80=99ed) prefers to keep it as a no-brainer for anyone who wants to compile TeX documents and can afford the download cost. I=E2=80=99d love to get feedback about the comparison between using `texlive' and `texlive-scheme-full', as I believe the latter can satisfy that user profile. Admittedly, another advantage is that you can modify `texlive' without rebuilding world. As you put it, you, or anyone on this earth I bet, don=E2=80=99t need every package in there. Some are provided for historical purpose only, for example. Even if you don=E2=80=99t want to fiddle with TeX Live packages, installing a couple of `texlive-collection-*' packages, such as the massive `texlive-collection-latexextra', will be more manageable in the long run.
