I think the two patches can be squashed (with you as co-author,
Nicolas).

It LGTM, except for two things:

  1. The ‘implementation’ field should be documented.

  2. The ‘glibc’ field should probably be renamed to ‘package’ (the name
     conventionally used for fields like this), with a compatibility
     shim (info "(guix) Deprecation Policy").

Are you willing/able to help with this?

I’m about to be offline for summer vacation but let me know if you’d
rather share the workload.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
