Good idea, it is also what I tend to try out first...

Repercussions trickle towards the leaves now. Maybe the Gnome team could
follow suit and fix the build errors for "guix build gnome"?

Currently I see this in python-scipy (!):
+ meson setup --prefix=/gnu/store/i0d555a5fd7isi606aqqmbp5zgy9jh6p-python-3.10.7 /tmp/guix-build-python-scipy-1.9.1.drv-0/scipy-1.9.1 /tmp/guix-build-python-scipy-1.9.1.drv-0/scipy-1.9.1/.mesonpy-sbs19t2c/build --native-file=/tmp/guix-build-python-scipy-1.9.1.drv-0/scipy-1.9.1/.mesonpy-native-file.ini -Ddebug=false -Doptimization=2

Maybe an update would be enough here, there is a newer version.

I am also still questioning whether we should include gnome-boxes into the
gnome meta package; it is a bit surprising to have a desktop environment
depend on qemu.
