Yes, it is possible to store multiple values under the same key.  The
results of the lookup for that key will then contain none, some or all
of those values.

Later, as an optimisation, we can build a custom DHT block plugin for
Guix packages.  This plugin can then combine several such values of
the same key.  So, in the end we can achieve a list of tuples from a
key lookup instead of getting a single tuple as a response multiple times.
