Speaking of java, I have a file
   gnu/packages/javac.in
which is under version control, and which is required to compile guix.
It has been introduced there:

commit 74574fd1e3fad5e0c1d061ce194e47dde0f7f175
Author: Ricardo Wurmus <ricardo.wurmus@mdc-berlin.de>
Date:   Tue Dec 23 12:31:50 2014 +0100

    gnu: Add GCJ
    
    * gnu/packages/gcc.scm (gcj-4.8, ecj-bootstrap-4.8): New variables.
    * gnu/packages/javac.in: New file.

Should this not be handled as a patch to one of these packages?
