No, out of the box guix-daemon is provided by the Debian guix package.

But you could provide an override pointing at whatever guix-daemon you

Once you do that, you may as well remove the Debian packaged guix,
although users that have not yet run "guix pull" would need to guess
where to find guix, as there will be no guix on PATH.
