As Marius wrote when closing the patch submission:

To properly package go-ethereum, you will need to declare each
dependency as separate packages.  See e.g. 'syncthing' for an example.
Unfortunately there is no importer for Go yet, making it a rather
tedious task.

The issue is marked closed because it was an incorrect way to package
it.  The Go importer is indeed merged.  Maybe, you could give a try
via this way.

From my opinion, you would get more answers asking on the mailing
guix-devel or on the IRC channel #guix than by unarchiving this "old"
submission. :-)

All the best,
