It looks like the commit adding the German translation for the cookbook
f98e83a17fa30587520e858231ec9c61f3624ecd broke "make dist".

in an environment built using:

  guix environment --pure guix --ad-hoc git imagemagick

running:

  ./bootstrap && ./configure --localstatedir=/var && make -j4 && make doc-pot-update && make -j4 dist

Results in:

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/vagrant/src/guix-tarball'
for f in po/doc/guix-manual.de.po; do

I haven't tracked down how to fix it properly, but it looks like maybe
some rules from guix-manual maybe were copied from the cookbook without
sufficiently being adjusted?

Reverting the commit works around the issue and generates a tarball,
though with the obvious downside of the German translation missing.
