I am not familiar enough with grafts and replacements to judge whether
this is a reasonable approach or whether it just adds more duct tape on
top of duct tape... Note that everything would have to be consistent,
from "guix package" to "guix build". And the "--no-grafts" also behaves
strangely, where it is not even clear what the optimal behaviour should be.
I still think it is a situation we should try to avoid as much as possible,
but maybe it is not worth to spend too much time fixing it.

Andreas
