I've copied all this from MELPA's default :files property described at
https://github.com/melpa/melpa . I have no idea what the rationale for
some of these regexes are.

Currently, include and exclude are a list of regexes that file names are
matched against. Should this be combined into one big regex?

Would it be a good idea to add a third keyword argument, say
#:documentation, that will select info documentation files and install
them separately in some other directory?

Sorry, I accidentally sent this mail to guix-patches <at> gnu.org instead of
26559 <at> debbugs.gnu.org. Closing this.
