This has been completed in the last six months. A good place to look for information is https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pyside2 You can browse the source code and follow the links to the 'debian' directory, which contains the files that govern the packaging process. In general for Debian packages, the 'rules' file is worth reading and the 'patches' directory has the changes to the upstream code. One element that could be important in Guix is an update of patchelf to a recent commit (see 'update-patchelf.patch' in the patches directory). Best regards, Paul.
