as I understand it, this directory is simply not used in our installation.
(So the variable is wrong, but it does not matter.) It is supposed to be
used by system administrators installing packages for all users. In our case,
I do not quite see which directory we would like to use for that; if Guix
is installed on another LFS distribution, we could use /usr/local/texmf or
something similar. It cannot be $prefix/whatever, as the store is immutable.
Right now, individual users should install tex things into
$HOME/.texlive2015. For instance,
$HOME/.texlive2015/texmf-var/tex/latex/beamerouterthemexyz.sty.
