I agree this is suboptimal, but I don't think this change should be accepted as-is, because it'd means people would now need to download both guix-install.sh and the new zzz-guix.sh separately, breaking old expectation that guix-install.sh is self-contained. Perhaps guix-install.sh could download the separate zzz-guix.sh script itself? -- Thanks, Maxim

The functionality in the install script remains the same, while this
change will contribute to follow upgrades in zzz-guix.sh.
Change-Id: Ieed963cccb445034532ec08ee2731926c791d26a
---
When using guix on a foreign distribution, the zzz-guix.sh is copied to /etc/profile.d.
When this file is renamed or updated, this modification remains unnoticed, as guix pull does not have any effect on that. This is a source of potential issues.
Spinning-off the zzz-guix.sh out of the installer script mitigates this situation, as users will be able to manually update it, following changes.
In current situation, users need to follow changes in the whole installer, searching for modifications in the relevant section, which is unfriendly.
