Good idea!  I ended up pushing a slightly different patch, calling the
package ‘guile2.2-gnutls’ to match what ‘package-for-guile-2.2’ does:

  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=079f013be2a3601518a67d65f4e39f7fabddb053

Let me know if anything’s wrong!

BTW, it would be nice :-) to port this to Guile as well:

  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=bc3c41ce36349ed4ec758c70b48a7059e363043a
  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=580deec5b44d623e994e59ef07e9e0c5496762fd

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up!
