Alternatively, could we modify
   (guix packages patch-and-repack)
so that instead of calling "tar" directly, it executes the phase named 'unpack
of the package? After that, it would apply the patches and repackage.

This would be more flexible. For instance, we could use it to derive a udev
source tarball out of the systemd sources, which would then be returned via
   guix build udev -S
