OK, thanks. Good that you brought it upstream, but a bit unfortunate 
that there wasn't an issue in debbugs.

Is there a policy regarding known unbuildable packages? Perhaps there 
could be a mechanism that would spare users from attempting to have the 
un-buildable build, which may involve stopping a `guix package -u` or a 
`guix package -m manifest-file` in its tracks ...
