I think so because in practice we already use (guix build utils) quite a
lot on the “host side”.

More generally, while I think it’s important to arrange things so that
we don’t end up importing all of Guix on the build side, the advantage
of using the same language on both sides is that we can share code.  I
think we should take advantage of it when there are no downsides.
