While setting up a build environment for Borg from Guix commit
9e783d0bf22a7ff965105eb45f6c179a832bbabf, I noticed a profile collision
between python-six and python-six-bootstrap, with the bootstrap package
winning the contest:

These package "bootstrap" packages shouldn't be referenced in profiles,
right?

This doesn’t seem okay, but it is harmless enough to delay changing it.
The difference between the bootstrap package and regular python-six is
tests: the bootstrap package does not depend on pytest and has its tests
disabled.

There are only two packages using python-six-bootstrap:
python-more-itertools and python-pytest.  Both of them propagate
python-six-bootstrap.
