Hi Corentin,

I applied your patch with the minor changes below and with a commit log
closer to our conventions (see
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>.)

Thank you!

Ludo’.

PS: I cannot push it right now because git.sv.gnu.org is currently
    unavailable.
PPS: The email address that you used, <corentin@nibupac>, is invalid; I
     hope you’ll get this message somehow.  :-)
