One solution we haven’t yet used to its full potential is ‘wrap-script’,
an alternative to ‘wrap-program’ that Ricardo added to (guix build
utils) a while back.
Its advantage is that it does not create a new file. It only works for
scripts, and only in some languages, but using it more widely may
already improve the situation noticeably.
