Is it necessary to set a file-name here? IMO $name_$version is fine, but
the linter may have a different opinion.

I don't think video.scm is a good location for this package definition.
Though I'm not sure which module is most appropriate. Maybe 'code.scm'?
Or perhaps create a "cpp.scm" for these generic C++ libraries?

PS: No need to open separate bugs, you can just send the updated patches
here. Bonus points if you add a subject prefix like "PATCH v2" for the
next batch.
