Subject: [bug#72925] Adding JPM package for Janet

Thank you for taking the time to look into my patch. Sorry, I'm new to Guix
and to this workflow. So, forgive me if my questions look a bit naive:
1. What do you mean by reroll count for the patch?
2. I looked at the copy-build-system documentation. I'm not sure how it can
be used here. I'm not just updating the shebang. As you can already see in
the patch, I'm doing a lot of string substitutions in the source code
itself because some values are hard coded. That's why I preferred to use
the trivial-build-system to have more control of what I need to substitute.

Thanks,
Omar
