IIUC you would have to translate the nix packages there into guix
packages, assuming there's a 1:1 translation (which might not be the
case since everything's just a derivation in Nix).  You also have to
take into account different quality guidelines between Guix and Nix –
Guix tends to be more stringent.

Since it's possible to specify the URLs via command line, how about
simply removing the defaults and making the respective command line
options required for the time being?

Cheers
