Sounds good for me.
As a new user I found it annoying Icecat doesn't work by default.
IMO dejavu font should be an input of icecat or should be shipped with
the new %desktop-packages variable. Guix packages should just work out
of the box without the need for user to have any technical knowledge,
by doing so it can gain wider audience and popularity.
