Guile modules that are meant to be used on the builder side must live in
the (guix build …) name space. They must not refer to
other Guix or GNU modules. However, it is OK for a “host-side” module
to use a build-side module.
Modules that deal with the broader GNU system should be in the
(gnu …) name space rather than (guix …).
