This is confusing. Debian has version 4.17-9 but I don’t even know
where they got it from. The home page that’s linked there only has 2.x
tarballs.
And this clashes with the declaration of the ICS version in the git
repo.
Weird! I really don’t mind dropping this patch (I just packaged it
while demonstrating Guix), but it’s sad that the license situation here
is so contradictory.
