I looked back through the commits around there. The whole point was the
following commit, to divide the longish haphazard list of packages into
sets of a sort. If it's only used in (gnu system install) then I don't
see a problem with moving it there. The closest I know of to another
user of %base-packages-disk-utilities is my gparted guix image¹.

Would it be better to do
(define-deprecated/alias-public %base-packages-disk-utilities
%installer-disk-utilities)
And remove the export from the list at the top of (gnu system)?
