We already have =E2=80=9Cguix import nix=E2=80=9D but (1) the non-trivial p=
arts cannot
be automatically translated (because they=E2=80=99re written in Bash in
Nixpkgs), and (2) meta-data, in particular licenses, needs to be
double-checked and adjusted.

I think it may be similar with a Debian importer, but I=E2=80=99d be intere=
sted
in hearing about experiments in that direction!
