Hi Robert!

`guix search` and other user-facing tools ignore non-exported packages.

So you can simply use `define` instead of `define-public` to declare a
package.

For instance:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define my-package
  ...
  )
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The description does not have to be long, in fact it can be just one
line, but it just explain what the package is here for.  Even if it is
not exposed to the user, package maintainers will want to know why it's
here.

Cheers!
