Same as in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30798#8

    Unfortunately, we can't use sources from MELPA.  The problem is:
    when a repository get a new commit, the old tarball is *REPLACED*
    with the new one on MELPA, so the package could never be built
    anymore, since the source disappeared.  That's why we use tarballs
    directly from source.

    BTW, to make a recipe more polished you could remove unnecessary new
    lines, for example:

           (uri (string-append "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/deft-";
                 version ".el"))

Likewise (new line).

                                                  ^
                                                  unnecessary apostrophe?

Also this line is too long (more than 80 symbols).

Otherwise LGTM.

Thanks,
Oleg.
