I just tried to do this, but I get stuck as Guix seems to think that the
sources are located in the “about_files” directory:

source is under 'about_files'

In fact, the sources are in the “src.zip” archive.  Currently, I just
replace the “unpack” phase to take care of this, but I don’t know how to
fix this in a snippet.  I’d like to repackage just the contents of
“src.zip” as the source tarball, but ‘patch-and-repack’ doesn’t make it
easy.
