I'm not too found of "guix pypi". I would rather use a "guix
autopackage" command that would make it easy to package software from
GNU, PyPI, and other sources.

We already have a "guix refresh" command that could probably be merged
with "guix autopackage". This way, we could have most of the
packaging/upgrading work done for us, with a single unified command.

WDYT ?
