Hi Matt,

The location here is that of the =E2=80=98package-input-rewriting=E2=80=99 =
procedure,
which is used to define this =E2=80=9Cguile3.0-=E2=80=9D variant.  But note=
 that
=E2=80=98guile-bytestructures=E2=80=99 has the right location info:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix show guile-bytestructures
name: guile-bytestructures
version: 1.0.7
outputs: out
systems: x86_64-linux i686-linux
dependencies: autoconf@2.69 automake@1.16.1 guile@2.2.6 pkg-config@0.29.2
location: gnu/packages/guile.scm:594:2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

We could arrange so that =E2=80=98package-input-rewriting=E2=80=99 preserve=
s source
location info (that would still be somewhat inaccurate, but hopefully
less misleading.)

Ludo=E2=80=99.
