I really like lzip due to its supposedly better
design. https://www.nongnu.org/lzip/safety_of_the_lzip_format.html I've
been speaking to Timothy Sample about supporting lzip in
disarchive. It's a non-trivial amount of work, but I'll try to get it
done.

Replacing %gnu-build-system-modules with (guix build gnu-build-system)
does not work since we also need (guix build utils). I could replace
%gnu-build-system-modules with (guix build gnu-build-system) and (guix
build utils), but is there something wrong with using
%gnu-build-system-modules?

Yep! I have a service in the guix-forge channel, but it uses a few
guix-forge specific constructs. I'll try and adapt it.

Regards,
Arun
