Simple things first, the linter makes a number of complaints. There are
tab characters on a couple of lines and some issues with the formatting
of the description.

Maybe more importantly, this package uses the copy build system, but it
looks like ble.sh should be built with make. I realise that the output
of this build process is a mostly readable shell script, but the Guix
package should still build the source to generate it. Does that make
sense?

Thanks,

Chris
