If I can authorise any substitute server key that I want, then I
can authorise my own server's key. I can then create a malicious
substitute that doesn't correspond to the build recipe in Guix. I
could inject whatever code I want into this substitute, and have
it placed in the store as the output for the derivation. When
another user attempts to install the same package into their
profile they will then use my malicious substitute (even though
they never authorised my server's key).
