By reading the manual (or cookbook). Updating package descriptions with a list of quirky annoyances on foreign distros is surely overkill. We don't even put CVEs in there, instead describing those to ignore in a property.
I'll write up an appropriate entry once I've figured out how I want to word it. However, I'd like to also state for the record, that a lack of such is not really a bug in Guix. Applications packaged in Guix not only honour the environment variables they're supposed to honour, they sometimes even have more of them. The trouble comes from implicit defaults being assumed (and therefore not set) by the foreign distro. Cheers
