Bug: (org-release) returns empty string on Elpa [ ( @ /home/pierre/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/)]

[Pierre Langlois]

Hello there!

Since the latest update to 9.4.4, some of us in Guix have been
experiencing issues with loading packages that depend on Org [0]. It
seems the root of the problem is that (org-release) returns an empty
string, you can see this manifesting in this email actually :-).

Looking a little deeper, indeed the org-version.el packaged in Guix is
as follows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; org-version.el --- autogenerated file, do not edit
;;
;;; Code:
;;;###autoload
(defun org-release ()
  "The release version of Org.
Inserted by installing Org mode or when a release is made."
   (let ((org-release ""))
     org-release))
;;;###autoload
(defun org-git-version ()
  "The Git version of Org mode.
Inserted by installing Org or when a release is made."
   (let ((org-git-version ""))
     org-git-version))

(provide 'org-version)

;; Local Variables:
;; version-control: never
;; no-byte-compile: t
;; coding: utf-8
;; End:
;;; org-version.el ends here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

We download the Org source code directly from ELPA [1], it would seemx
the org-version.el wasn't correctly generated, right?

Thanks so much for Org!
Pierre
