There are a few types of reproducibility that we'd like to implement in
Guix. There is the bootstrapping issue, as you mentioned. But we can
still seek to build packages reproducibly even while Guix is built on
the binary seeds. In most cases that bootstrapping strategy does not
affect the reproducibility of packages.
