I applied the patch though I took the liberty to make the changes below:
removing “v” from the version string, and providing more facts and less
marketing talk in the ‘description’ field (see
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Synopses-and-Descriptions.html>.)

Thanks for the patch!

Ludo’.
