  procedure.
  (show-help): Add `-e'.
  (%options): Likewise.
  (guix-package)[process-actions]: Handle ('install . p) pairs, where P
  is a package.
* tests/guix-package.sh: Add `boot_make_drv'.  Use `-i $boot_make_drv'
  once, and then use `-e $boot_make'.

also been explicitly installed independently.
@item --install-from-expression=@var{exp}
@itemx -e @var{exp}
Install the package @var{exp} evaluates to.
@var{exp} must be a Scheme expression that evaluates to a
@code{<package>} object. This option is notably useful to disambiguate
between same-named variants of a package, with expressions such as
@code{(@@ (gnu packages base) guile-final)}.
Note that this option installs the first output of the specified
package, which may be insufficient when needing a specific output of a
multiple-output package.
@item --remove=@var{package}
@itemx -r @var{package}
Remove @var{package}.
