Yeah, I guess you could fine-tune the regexp as a first step.

Yes, these are just copied from Guix proper to /gnu/store.

These are non-package byproducts used by the system (everything =E2=80=98gu=
ix
system=E2=80=99 and other tools build goes to /gnu/store, including
configuration files, the initrd, and so on.)  It=E2=80=99s safe to ignore t=
