Yup its a way, but in the higly improbable case we want to distribute
install images with the 'locale' field of 'installation-os' set to
something else than en_US.utf8, then LANG matters. I found a hack
consisting in loading everything in /etc/environment just before
starting the installer but I'm not very proud of it!

Yup, I'll check!

I just pushed to wip-newt-installer some commits. Most of what you
described in points 1, 2 and 3 should be ok. The part, I'm not sure
about and I would like you to have a look is the (guix self) part. I'm
not sure I understand the point of having a *installer-modules*
scheme-node if we don't want to build and distribute the installer via
(guix self).
So what I did is removing (gnu system install) from *system-modules* so
that, all references to the installer is absent from (guix self), but
maybe it's not the right thing to do.
Thanks,
Mathieu
