The recutils output is not the *only* way to access the package data.
All packages in Guix are just Scheme variables. Package data are
available as S-expressions and can be read by Scheme programs or parsed
by external applications. The recutils output is just an additional
format used when interacting with Guix on the command line.
(Personally, I’m not enthusiastic about adding a serialised form of the
source field to the recutils output.)
