This seems like what is described at the end of:

https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/html_node/GUIX_005fPACKAGE_005fPATH.html#GUIX_005fPACKAGE_005fPATH


You would need to add ac-geiser add the end of the file if you want to
test it with -f.  But maybe also take a look at the other methods
described in the Cookbook.
