The issue with this is then

    guix install python python-setuptools-scm

will install python-setuptools-scm@7 and not the current one at 6.3.2.
Since I am not an expert on this setuptools_scm, the question is: is it
an issue?  For instance, it can be for python-numpy so the term ’-next’
is appended to the name.

Here, we could also append ’-next’, WDYT?
