You can remove the trailing #t, it’s no longer necessary.

I’d suggest using the new style, which is to refer to those right in the
code, like so:

  (arguments
    (list #:phases #~(modify-phases …
                       …
                       (invoke "tar" "xf" #$(package-source whatever)))))

However, it would be best if, instead of re-building those three
libraries, docxbox would instead link against the .so provided by their
respective packages.

s/CLI/Command-line/ (in general, avoid acronyms)

s/DOCX/@file{.docx}/ I would say.

Could you send updated patches?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
