Finally got around to it: I applied patches #1 and #3.

For patch #2, there’s the unwritten rule that non-UI modules should not
load (guix ui), so I’m reluctant to applying it in its current form.

Now, the current situation is not great either.  For instance, partly
due to that rule, there are 3 copies of ‘load-manifest’—not the end of
the world since it’s just 3 lines, but still.

I don’t have a good idea on how to address this, but we can talk.  :-)

Thanks, and apologies for the delay!

Ludo’.
