Yeah, I really feel guilty each time I tell people here that Guix helps
with reproducibility — and then I remember Bioconductor and have to add
a footnote…

I have already rewritten a Bioconductor package locally to test this.
It shouldn’t take very long to move to SVN, but I just haven’t found the
time so far.  Maybe after the recursive importer is merged I’ll be able
to make time to adjust the importer and existing Bioconductor packages.
