Maybe we could also package 0.6 with a package 'python-pypump-0.6' that inherits from python-pypump. Or, you could keep that inherited python-pypump-0.6 in a private package repo, and use GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH. I'd prefer the latter option. I don't think we have a precedent of adding old releases, although we do sometimes keep them around for compatibility. But I could be mistaken. What do people think we should do?
