Let say you have a custom my-hello package inheriting from hello, and
you want to build it on top of a recent Guix checkout, then you probably
want GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH to cooperate with pre-inst-env.
Same goes if you have a manifest mixing Guix packages and custom
packages accessed by GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH, and you want to test your
manifest on top of a Guix checkout using pre-inst-env.
Thanks,
Mathieu
