Hartmut, since the rest of the patch looked non controversial, and if =E2=80=98guix lint=E2=80=99 doesn=E2=80=99t complain, you can push to =E2= =80=98master=E2=80=99 with the synopsis above. The =E2=80=98license=E2=80=99 field may also need to be fixed: it says =E2= =80=98gpl3=E2=80=99, which means GPLv3-only, but the odds are that it=E2=80=99s in fact GPLv3-or-later, aka. =E2=80=98gpl3+=E2=80=99. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
