Looks really cool!  We’d need a bit of documentation though, under
“Binary Installation” maybe?

> +sys_authorize_build_farms()
> +{ # authorize the public keys of the two build farms
> +    _msg "${INF}Authorizing build farm public keys"

> +    guix archive --authorize < ~root/.guix-profile/share/guix/berlin.guixsd.org.pub &&
> +        _msg "${PAS}Authorized berlin.guixsd.org"
> +}

Would it make sense to ask for confirmation?  Like:

  echo "Do you want to authorize binaries from the project's build farms?"
  echo "If you answer yes, Guix will download pre-built package binaries from them."
  echo "If you answer no, Guix will build software from source."
  read -r ANSWER
  case "$ANSWER"
     …
  esac

?

Otherwise LGTM, thanks!
