Refrain from making gratuitous changes like this one...

... or this one.  Neither improve the package.

This change is dubious too – while it fits in 80 characters, it just as
well fits in two lines, plus it's a cosmetic change mixed with
functional ones.

Maybe we should make this an after unpack 'unpack-additional-sources.


As for the submodule suggestion, explicit is better than implicit. 
#:recursive? #t might be nice for personal testing, but on a distro
scale it's asking for trouble, especially with upgrades as you never
know what additional sources get pulled in or not and whether your
cleanup still does what it should.  Thus, we typically discourage its
use and Telegram is one of the prime examples of why *not* to apply it.
