Another option would be to include in the pre/post install script to add
the repo if it's not already there. I know some third party repos delete
and recreate their files, my `tor+http` setting keeps on getting
overwritten.

I haven't looked too closely at the code yet, so appologies if you've
already taken care of it. In the guix manual it says not to install the
binary installer over an existing install, does the deb you've created
make sure to not do that?
