The name that =E2=80=9Cguix package -s=E2=80=9D shows is the package name.
=E2=80=98gnu-gettext=E2=80=99, conversely, is the name of the variable boun=
d to that
package.

In your config file, you can use =E2=80=98specifications->manifest=E2=80=99=
 as
documented in the manual if you=E2=80=99d rather avoid dealing with variabl=
es.

HTH!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
