I believe the effect is that the same-named packages, those not in
commencement.scm, are no longer being built, as discussed here:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2021-06/msg00222.html

Should we arrange so that jobs for the commencement.scm packages get a
custom name, for example prefixed by “commencement.”?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
