I try to get to the point where I have an local or external
server running GuixSD some time between now and end of spring, so
I will be able to easily test this.
I'll work on this and come up with an patch which is no longer
"work in progress", nevertheless some feedback on the original
patch from someone (search the archives for "gnu: Add debbugs", I
don't provide links I don't need) would be highly
appreciated. I haven't reviewed myself after the time which
passed, I hope it's not too horrible.
