Do you mean intergrating my tool into "guix import" or reimplement it in
guile? In both cases somebody else would need to take on the job.

While having it readily available in guix would indeed be good, I'm not
going to do it 1) I'm not a guile-programmer and doing this would take
me too much time which I could spend more useful on other stuff. 2)
Parsing debian-822-like files seams to be non-trivial (given there is a
quite complex python module for this task), re implementing this in
guile seams to be quite a bit of work.

If somebody else is reimplementing this in guile, I'll happily drop by
implementation.
