Sorry, I am late to the party. To clarify things, the following is
happening here:
1. at first guix is built from source, in a guix environment guix
2. the package is added
3. the package build is tested using pre-inst-env guix build package

So, the environment is not for r-aspi, but to get to the exact environment where
the pre-inst-env was built, so the third step is reproducible.

Does that make sense?
