I think it=E2=80=99s useful to have Ansible installable via Guix.  You can =
use
it to deploy remote machines.  While you probably wouldn=E2=80=99t use Ansi=
ble
to modify your Guix System it can still be valuable in a mixed
environment where the other machines don=E2=80=99t use Guix.

I think it=E2=80=99s fine to add debops to Guix.  It=E2=80=99s free softwar=
e, uses free
software, and is used to manage free software distributions.  It=E2=80=99s =
all
good in that regard.
