For =E2=80=98guix pack --bootstrap=E2=80=99, I believe we could avoid defin=
ing these
packages and simply use =E2=80=98%bootstrap-coreutils&co=E2=80=99 when =E2=
=80=98--bootstrap=E2=80=99 is
used.

Would that work for you?

I=E2=80=99m asking because we may not keep these 4 binaries around forever.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
