The ‘--verbose’ option predates the new “quiet” output for ‘guix
package’, so it doesn’t do what you expect, I believe.

I think we need to change the meaning of ‘--verbose’ or repurpose
‘--verbosity’ to choose whether or not build output should be displayed.
We should come up with the same option for all the commands.

Thoughts?
