I agree with this fix. And, it seemed very easy. So, I started working on it. But, when I try to change the guile-dbi package description, `guix lint' complains that since guile-dbi is a GNU package, we should prefer to keep the upstream description. Now, it seems like we should change the upstream guile-dbi description to change the Guix package description. Feels a little bureaucratic to me.
