I wonder if anyone checks the Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) names of
new packages when creating them?

It's important to name the package in accordance with the CPE or set
the cpe-name property, or else `guix lint -c cve` won't work for that
package.

There is an example of setting the cpe-name in the package definition of
isc-dhcp, where the cpe-name is 'dhcp'.

Maybe we should audit the whole package set to find packages that appear
to not be covered by CPE.
