Hm, it seems it was a bug when using the
release-monitoring-url property and the code in import-html-release from
(guix gnu-maintenance.)

I've tested with my series at https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65230 and I'm
happy to report it resolves the issue:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh -u profanity

It could do with a review :-).
