That's reasonable to me, but it should be documented somewhere.  Oh
wait, we do not have documentation yet.  Hm.

I've streamlined the commet missage and pushed:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Honor DEBBUGS_DATA environment variable for Debbugs data.

This makes it easier to experiment with various sets of data.

* mumi/config.scm.in (%config) <data-dir>: Honor DEBBUGS_DATA
environment variable.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,
Maxim
