Thanks for the mention ;)

I actually came up with an alternative solution, that I already hinted
at in IRC.  0001 implements a function to disable byte compilation for
a single file, 0002 applies this to the package in question.  I'm not
quite sure why the files are not writable and wonder, whether the chmod
should be added into 0001, but keeping it out of it should hopefully
prevent abuse.

It's rather late and this is just a proof of concept.  I haven't fully
evaluated the impact this will have on Guix (specifically in the amount
of rebuilds it will cause).  Also beware of my somewhat ill-formed
commit messages.  After painfully checking each of the themes for this
bug however (on my machine, YMMV), I did update the comment for what
it's worth.

Regards,
Leo
