Going on with the package, I think we only need this patch beside the
shabang adjustment:

	 ## System
	 my ($bsd_type,$language,$os) = ('','','');
	 my ($cpu_sleep,$dl_timeout,$limit,$ps_count,$usb_level) = (0.35,4,10,5,0);
	-my @paths = qw(/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin);
	-$ENV{'PATH'} = 'sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin';
	+my @paths = qw(/sbin /bin /run/setuid-programs /run/current-system/profile/bin /run/current-system/profile/sbin);
	+push (@paths, "$ENV{'HOME'}/.guix-profile/bin");
	+push (@paths, "$ENV{'HOME'}/.guix-profile/sbin");
	+$ENV{'PATH'} = '/sbin:/bin:/run/setuid-programs:/run/current-system/profile/bin:/run/current-system/profile/sbin';
	+$ENV{'PATH'} = '$ENV:$ENV{'HOME'}/.guix-profile/bin";
	+$ENV{'PATH'} = '$ENV:$ENV{'HOME'}/.guix-profile/sbin";
	 my $sensors_cpu_nu = 0;

Basically inxi sets a 'paths' variable with the usual Unix paths and
then forces the environment PATH to the same value.

My suggestion instead: set 'paths' to /run/current-system/* and
~/.guix-profile/{sbin,bin}.

What do you think?  Is this generic enough?  Is ~/.guix-profile a
guaranteed location for the user profile?

Last but not least, what's the better approach between
- a patch,
- a substitute,
- a snippet?

I only know very little about Perl so the above code might look very clumsy.

There is very little future in being right when your boss is wrong.
