This is either an R or Guix bug, but from the discussion at https://community.rstudio.com/t/incomplete-final-line-found-whats-the-big-deal/56536, I infer that files should generally end in a newline anyway.

My bug: every time I start R, I get the following warning, which is unpleasant.

Warning message:
In readLines("/etc/timezone") :
  incomplete final line found on '/etc/timezone'

Turns out the warning occurs when I load lubridate via library(lubridate).  I install it via CRAN, rather than Guix package r-lubridate, but I believe it was the same with that.
