Perhaps nobody who uses Guix installed guile-gnutls from Debian, or
added it to the $GUILE_LOAD_PATH.  Fortunately this is easily worked
around by uninstalling that Debian package.

(Remember Guix does not require the GnuTLS Guile bindings; it can use
them for ‘guix download’, but that’s optional.)
