It would help for this to be noted in some manner.  Be it in the
description or as comments in the package description.

Does this work for you (for jpm installed via guix)?  If so, could you
please confirm the set of dependencies you have installed in the guix
profile for the above to work?  If not, could you provide an example
invocation that I could test out which would allow me to install a janet
dependency in a local directory?

That would be helpful.
