Uff, sorry for the incomplete 'staging' rebase.  I did not realize that
.guix-authorizations was missing completely in the earlier commits of
that branch; I only focused on getting Brice's commit authorized.

Yes core-updates needs to be rebased too because of this.  And yes, not
a lot of commits yet.  So let's move the introductory commit and rebase
core-updates on top, I can take care of the latter in a few days.
