As long as 'guix system' will create an indirect gc root as expected,
regardless of whether '--root' was specified in the environment variable
for build options or as a command-line option for the 'guix system'
command, adding it explicitly to 'guix system' seems OK to me.
I'll see if I can submit a patch later this week.
