Subject: Build image for USB with custom kernel and packages

Starting from <guix source>/gnu/system/install.scm, I can run

	> guix system disk-image install.scm

and it works.

Now if I add a custom kernel and a custom package to install.scm:

	(define-public my-linux
	  (package
	    (inherit linux-libre)
	    (name "my-linux")
	    (source ...
	
	(define-public 
	  (package
	    (name "foo")
	    (version version)
	    (source ...)
	    (build-system trivial-build-system)
	    (arguments
	     `(#:modules ((guix build utils))
	       #:builder ...))
	    (home-page "")
	    (synopsis "Blah blah")
	    (description "More blah blah")
	    (license #f))))

And in the `operating-system` form:

	(operating-system
		(kernel my-linux)
    ;; Rest is untouched.

I have to use more modules for this to work:

  #:use-module (guix packages)
  #:use-module (guix download)
  #:use-module (guix git-download)
  #:use-module (guix build-system trivial)

This fails to run:

	> guix system disk-image install.scm
	guile: warning: failed to install locale
	warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument
	guix system: error: failed to load 'install.scm': No such file or directory

Am I missing something or is it a bug?
