Awesome, pushed!

While we’re at it, can we also disable individual package page
generation?  It takes a lot of time to build and uses quite a lot of
space as well; I’m eager to see them go.  :-)

Maybe we can add a redirect from <https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages>
pages like this:

If we’re serious about it, we can try to match the package/version in
URLs like <https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/julia-mappedarrays-0.4.0/>
and redirect to the right one.  Not sure if that’s worth the trouble
though.

Thanks!
