There is logic in the perform-action procedure in (guix scripts system)
which adds GRUB to the PATH environment variable. That's where the
determination occurs. So, currently, it looks like the 'grub-install'
command comes from whatever version of grub happens to be defined in
(gnu packages grub) at the time perform-action gets called. In
practice, I believe this means that whatever grub version is currently
available in guix (e.g., as seen via 'guix package --show=grub') will be
used.
Hope that helps!
