I'm not convinced that adding a property to some 80 packages is better
than patching the importer.  To me this problem seems very
importer-specific (knowing what releases are considered LTS).

As a middle ground, perhaps we could add a "--select" argument to guix
import, e.g: "--select=REGEX    Only consider versions matching REGEX".
