Good catch!

The ‘with-imported-modules’ form should be preserved: it ensures that
(guix build utils) is present in the build and/or execution environment.

It’s the other places, those that lack it, that should be fixed.  That
should go into a different patch though, and there’s no rush since those
gexps are actually used in a context where (guix build utils) happens to
be available anyway.

Same here.

Apart from that the patch LGTM.  Could you send an updated version just
without these two things?

Thank you!
