nitpick: 'Reported-by:' is a Git trailing (message tag); it should
appear at the bottom of the commit message for Git tools to correctly
parse it.

I tested it in 'guix repl' for zxing-cpp-1.2, and something didn't go
well:

Oops!  Indeed, sorry for missing the obvious.  Thanks for the fix.

Cheers,
simon

PS: For the record, the change you made is:

 -                       ('package/inherit inits ...))
 +                       ('package/inherit _ inits ...))

because the one above would be equivalent :-) – if I understand enough
Guile patterning matching.

The one with 'parent' was working as well, but because the binding was
never used, Guile was emitting a warning, silence by renaming 'parent'
to '_' :-).
