That is indeed really odd. I definitely didn't want to encode any
Celtic languages (I do speak Dutch, but not Gaelic or Breton).

I am not sure I completely understand your proposal. When you say
'separate variable', Do you mean we would (define-public elfutils-0.178=20
...)?

And changing the default libelf implementation should be a separate bug
I assume.

BTW. Upstream is now debating some of the dependencies for other
distros that have bootstrapping requirements too:=20
