I've tried it both with #:glib-or-gtk? #t and #:glib-or-gtk? #f and then compared
the result using diffoscope there's no functional difference.

Therefore, I suggest leaving the #:glib-or-gtk? off, or investigating why it
doesn't do anything.

This package contains unpatched references to perl, git, ln and other
programs, which means that those programs are looked up in $PATH and
most probably will not be found.

It also contains patched references to python.

That's not consistent.

Please research what the package is supposed to do.  If perl, git and
ln are internally required modules, let's patch them.

If they are external "composing" modules, let's leave them as-is.
