Ah, for the record, I had searched for pandoc using `guix package -s
pandoc` in the past and didn't find what I was looking for, and so fell
back to a Debian system.  It turns out what I wanted was ghc-pandoc
after all.

But if I would have put a little bit more effort into looking, perhaps I
would have figured that out; I was in a hurry.

Thanks for making this change!
