Yep. This is not a bug until it comes to what you are possibly trying to attempt,
build a software which relies on your *current* kernel sources.

For a solution I can point to the Nix package for linux, where they deal with this
within the kernel package, for firmware and more. Because I'm short on time these
days I haven't sent a patch yet but I can confirm the issues you probably ran into
as I had them many months back already.

Mark, you are mostly responsible for the linux module in Guix.

Besides my own notes, this was relevant:
