Neat!  I’ve applied all three patches.

I’ve also followed up by a commit that fixes the problem you mentioned,
namely that (gnu bootloader depthcharge) wouldn’t be included in what
‘guix pull’ provides.

Could you add a sentence or two in doc/guix.texi, under “Bootloader
Configuration”, to mention Depthcharge next to U-Boot?

BTW, if U-Boot and Depthcharge are able to install custom keymaps, it’d
be nice to implement that support like commit
8d058e7b1b1a409d3d9cc29c5650a98db4e78783 does for GRUB.

Thanks Vagrant & Timothy!

Ludo’.
