This concept LGTM (but I haven't looked closely at the patches), but
as noted on #guix, some issues with eliminating labels completely:
A package definition of P may require both Q@1.0 and Q@2.0 as inputs,
in which case a ‘label collision’ would be created if we generate
labels package-name. More specifically, I'm thinking of packaging
go-ipfs-migrations (or what's its name ...). It would be a good idea
to add an (additional?) test to actually try to migrate from
go-ipfs@first-version to go-ipfs@another-version.
Greetings,
Maxime.
