Yes, it’s not great.  We could skip it provided we first upgrade the
‘guix’ package (with “make update-guix-package”) so that we get the
latest (gnu build linux-modules) module.  You can do that to test things
locally.

We’re doing:

  (with-extension (list … guix …)
    (with-imported-modules (list … guix modules …)
      …))

and it turns out that extensions take precedence in %load-path.  So
merely adding (gnu build linux-modules) to the ‘with-imported-modules’
list isn’t enough, unfortunately.
