OK, I thought we more or less had a solution in place back then and just
missed ‘package-definition-location’.

I think we could do something along these lines:

  (edit-expression
    (location->source-properties (package-definition-location p))
    (lambda (str)
      ;; substitute commit ID in STR
      …))

But yes, let’s keep that for a subsequent patch.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
