Our Audacity package creates an extraneous "audacity" binary in the root
of the store item:

------
$ git describe                                   
v1.3.0-15695-gba60aede97 
$ ls -la $(./pre-inst-env guix build audacity)    
total 49012                
dr-xr-xr-x    6 root root          4096 Dec 31  1969 .

This didn't occur before the update from Audacity 2.4.2 to 3.1.3.
