Hello Guix!

This patch set adds support to produce Debian archives (.deb packages) via
guix pack.  It's rudimentary but functional.  You can try a simple example
like so:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix pack -f deb -C xz hello -S /usr/bin/hello=bin/hello

Copy the generated .deb to your dpkg-based distribution of choice, then:

$ sudo apt install ./91ypmi1j5py9qk034kki5wrgy0n52yz9-hello-deb-pack.deb

$ realpath $(which hello)
/gnu/store/lk9cmjjhgxpkxxi7m54y0jlv3rqvpb2n-hello-2.10/bin/hello
$ hello
Hello, world!

Fun, no?  We can now distribute software built with Guix transparently to any
Debian-based distribution.

Maxim Cournoyer (7):
  pack: Extract builder code from self-contained-tarball.
  pack: Factorize base tar options.
  pack: Fix typo.
  pack: Improve naming of the packs store file names.
  pack: Prevent duplicate files in tar archives.
  tests: pack: Fix compressor extension.
  pack: Add support for the deb format.
