I managed to find a "solution" for that and described it in a blog post
here: https://wolfsden.cz/blog/post/what-goes-into-guix-shaped-hole.html

However be aware that is does have limitations and one needs to be
somewhat careful (see the update at the bottom of the article).

I just hoped someone found a better solution.

Have a nice day,
Tomas
