Jesse,

Thanks!  It was linked from another thread[0] Ludo' pasted to my 
patch, though.  I've read both.

So is the argument here that Guix packages would generate scripts 
at run-time that refer to /usr/bin/env?  Or just that it's 
currently easy to catch packages that install #!/usr/bin/env 
scripts?  Or something else?

Neither /bin/sh nor /usr/bin/env are available in the build 
environment.  Relying on the *likely* run-time non-existence of 
/usr/bin/env in *user* environments to catch *packaging* bugs does 
not sound acceptable to me.

If you have the time, could you elaborate?

Kind regards,
