I think it is confusing to use the word "additionally" here as there is nothing that we know about the quiet output for the description that let's us then conceptualize what will be added to it.

In other words, level 1 should be described with more detail than "1 is for quiet output". 

What should we expect to see in the content of verbosity level 1 in general.

I would have to find the time to conduct some empirical usages with the --verbosity flag to answer that question succinctly and in the general across guix subcommands beyond just describing it as "quiet output".

WDYT, nitpick? maybe/maybenot
