  Hello Guix !

  When installed on an user extra-profile, `alacritty` does not add to
$TERMINFO_DIRS. Solved by using the attached patch. I have stolen this
fix from the guix `rxvt-unicode` package.

  Best regards,
  Fulbert

I committed it (with a commit log that follows our conventions), but
added a FIXME as can be seen above in the file.  We usually avoid
workarounds for this bug but there’s a precedent in this file, so so be it!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
