[...] Hi Andy, I upgraded Debian to GuixSD on a physical server in a similar way ... https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-03/msg00354.html ... but I used 'guix system init' instead of 'guix system reconfigure'. I wonder, could that approach have been used in this situation to avoid the need to "clean up the remaining Debian bits"?
