How to export downloaded files for a system profile? |

I'm trying to create an archive containing only the store items that were
downloaded to build machine A's active system profile, bootstrapped from source
with no substitutes. Machine B could be an air gapped system, machine A in the
future needing a reinstall without an internet connection, etc. Machine B would
be running a minimal guix installation to import that archive to.
Ideally, this archive would not contain any binaries produced by machine A to
save space when machine B already contains the necessary tools to consume the
archive and bootstrap it.
I've been digging around looking for a way to build a complete build dependency
and runtime dependency graph of every package and their derivations, but there
doesn't appear to be a straightforward way to do it. If such a complete graph
could be built, it seems to be only a matter of finding the leaf nodes and
exporting those from the store.
Am I on the right track?
