Oh, I see. I think it’s OK to use ‘bootstrap-coreutils&co’
nevertheless, and to simply check for networking in the test, as done in
tests/guix-package-net.sh and tests/guix-environment.sh.
The downside is that those tests will indeed require networking (though
they remain cheap). The upside is that we don’t clutter the package set
with “weird” packages. :-)
Another option would be to define these packages in a temporary file in
the test and add that to GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, but maybe that’s overkill…
Thoughts?
