Pushed as e913acf1183968397b834757cc6c7f902a0acc05.

I tweaked the "version" field so as not to shadow a variable, but this
does not change the derivation.

This package fails to build with btrfs-progs <at> 6.3.3 and hasn’t seen any
activity upstream since Dec. 2023.

Hi,

The ‘compsize’ package fails to build since the e2fsprogs and btrfs-progs
upgrades from <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/75119> (commit
7cef57e2a7dedd3eea0ba5852915eaf10f00e9f4).

According to the deprecation policy, this patch can be applied in one month
if there are no objections, on May 2nd.

Ludo’.
