I just wanted to see the last guix commit in the root profile, this give
us an idea of the date the last guix (and guix-daemon) was updated, no?

Rafa, actually the command to see the version of your guix daemon is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

/var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/current-guix/bin/guix-daemon -V

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

on my Debian 11 system guix-daemon.service in in /etc/systemd/system ;-)

Are there any differences in information we get when running "describe"
with different binary versions of guix?  I guess the command just
describes the actual status of a user profile, root in this case: do I
miss something?

Thanks! Gio'
