I can always do it by hand by changing symlinks, so it is not absolutely 
necessary.

The reason I needed to do it is that I was in a situation where the daemon 
was compiled with the glibc from guix and did not work. So I wanted to 
uninstall glibc, but --roll-back did not work. (Maybe -r would have 
worked?)
