Synopsis should not lead with "a" or "the".

"free software" is non-informative even with "(GPL)" added, as all
software in Guix should be free.  Leave this information to the license
field.

On the whole, this description is very market-y.  I'm sure you can
condense it to a third of its length without losing information. 
(Compression algorithms hate this trick.)

Please keep the #:use-module sorted.  The same applies for define-public.

Synopsis start with a capital case I think.  Use `guix lint' to be
sure.
