I finally went ahead and pushed it, after adding a note about the
instability of the API.  :-)

I think ‘remote-eval’ shouldn’t change much, but I’m not fully satisfied
with ‘lower-gexp’ in that it’s a bit too redundant with <derivation>
etc.  I couldn’t turn that vague feeling into actual code changes
though, so I’ll keep looking at it in the background, and it shouldn’t
have any impact on how ‘guix deploy’ uses ‘remote-eval’.

Apologies for the delay!

Ludo’.
