Debian 10 doesn't have many of the guile-* build dependencies, so I
would not recommend the current Debian stable release block bumping the
minimum guile 2.2 version for guix...

Debian bullseye (the testing branch) currently has guile-2.2 at 2.2.7:

  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/guile-2.2

Debian bullseye is likely to become Debian stable mid-2021, starting to
freeze in early 2021.

It should have all the dependencies for building guix against guile-2.2,
and *almost* all for building guix against guile-3.0...

The guix package may not make it out of Debian experimental any time
soon... unless I switch it to use guile-2.2 (and track down the
corresponding test suite failures) or the guile-gnutls test suite issues
with guile-3.0 get fixed.


live well,
