Hello Guix!
I have two systems: first (A) is a full Guix system and second (B) is a
foreign distribution with Guix package manager installed onto. I have
noticed when I'm performing 'guix pull' system B always build 'guix
pull' derivations by itself while system A most often just download
substitutes for them. The latter, of course, is much faster.
Here is how it looks on system B (commit
014875b29e68da6357a5323e6dd1eaa74a05b753):

Shouldn't 'guix pull' substitutes also work on foreign distros?
If they should, why don't sytem B get them?
