Getting a Guix package into Debian is really not important, especially
given the amount of nasty hacks it would require to attempt to appease
the Debian developers.

Hosting a .deb file on our own server that users could download and
install with dpkg would be perfect for us.

Thanks for the hard work, Diane!
