I renamed the package, updated its definition, set propagated inputs,
and applied it. Thank you for the initial work.

You make a fair point with the source distribution, but unfortunately,
it didn't raise much interest so far. It might be worth asking it on
Guix Devel ML.

Meanwhile, I'm closing this bug.

Hi Guix!

This is my first guix package -- I have some texlive, ocaml and emacs packages missing for my installation, so I thought it would be best to share them!
