> Add a more flexible variant of the fold-packages procedure, that takes a list
> of the modules to work with. The existing fold-packages procedure then calls
> fold-packages-in-modules with the result of the all-modules procedure.
>
> I wrote this when looking at how to get the packages in a specific set of
> modules, to create jobs for cuirass.
>
> * gnu/packages.scm (fold-packages-in-modules): New procedure.
>   (fold-packages): Change to use fold-packages-in-modules.

Instead of introducing a new procedure, what about simply:
