There is already "guix refresh", but so far it works only for gnu packages;
with the parameter "-u", it even updates the version and hash, so if the
source uri is written using "string-append" and "version", it can update
package recipes automatically.
It would be interesting to generalise this to arbitrary packages. Maybe
an idea for the hackathon?
