If we are able to generate deb and rpm files from the Guix package definition without too much burden, I think it is a good idea. However having a "debian" directory + a spec file + .... will require additional maintenance efforts and an extra layer of “noise” in the repository that seems undesirable to me. -- Mathieu Lirzin
