Thanks for looking into it!

First the whole string should be enclosed in (_ ...), otherwise xgettext
will just extract "~a~a" for translation.

Second, use ~% (instead of ~!); that will add a newline, and presumably
cause the string to be output.

Lastly, the indentation of (read-line) is incorrect.

Comments below:

This module is not needed (it’s for command-line argument processing.)

Perhaps change it to

  #:key (key-download 'interactive)

and document KEY-DOWNLOAD in the docstring.

Likewise.

Likewise.

Guile’s (ice-9 i18n) exports ‘locale-yes-regexp’ and ‘locale-no-regexp’
(info "(guile) Accessing Locale Information").

‘download-sigs’ (rather, ‘key-download’) should be a symbol, not a
string (this is a common convention).  So this will read:

  (case key-download
    ((never) #f)
    ((always)
     (download-and-try-again))
    (else
     ;; ...
     ))

> +        (option '(#\d "download-sigs") #t #f

"key-download".

> +                (lambda (opt name arg result)
> +                  (alist-cons 'download-sigs arg result)))

Ditto.

This should go...

... here, IMO.

The string should rather be:

  --key-download=POLICY
         handle missing OpenPGP keys according to POLICY (one of ...)

> +(define* (update-package store package #:optional download-sigs)

Rename accordingly.
