-For binary packages, each system should be defined as a Guix package.
-If one package @code{origin} contains several systems, package variants
-can be created in order to build all the systems.  Source packages,
-which use @code{asdf-build-system/source}, may contain several systems.

 In order to create executable programs and images, the build-side
 procedures @code{build-program} and @code{build-image} can be used.
-They should be called in a build phase after the @code{create-symlinks}
-phase, so that the system which was just built can be used within the
