I think so because in practice we already use (guix build utils) quite a
lot on the =E2=80=9Chost side=E2=80=9D.

More generally, while I think it=E2=80=99s important to arrange things so t=
hat
we don=E2=80=99t end up importing all of Guix on the build side, the advant=
age
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.
