If we'd had something like this, this could increase the speed for adding new packages a lot. I found a Python module `python-debian` which seams to allow analyzing .dsc files and control files quite easily. If it is of interest, I could implement "guix-import-debian". Of course, since I'm not a scheme programmer, this would be in Python. But it could be used as a scratch for a Guile implementation.
