It would be ideal if you would find a mirror of the latest upstream
source at debian.org or anywhere else.  Then you can change your recipe
to include several URLs:

  (origin
    ;; …
    (uri (list "…epson.net…" "…debian.org…")))

Does that make sense?

When you’re ready I encourage you to follow
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html>
and send us the ‘git format-patch’-produced patch so we can incorporate it.

Thank you,
Ludo’.
