With the discussion on IRC following your message, I ended up going back
to the solution that appends /2.22 to the GUIX_LOCPATH entries
automatically:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.guix.devel/12004
We’ll settle on that and declare the problem solved now. :-)
Sorry for the hesitations. It’s one of these situations where we have
conflicting principles: simplifying the users lives, and remaining close
to what upstream does.
