Hi,

guix-comm...@gnu.org skribis:

> +(define-deprecated/public-alias gnurl curl)

Just for the record (because it probably doesn’t matter much in this
case), this creates a deprecated alias for the variable, but not for the
package.

For package deprecation, I think it’s best to write:

  (define-public gnurl (deprecated-package "gnurl" curl))

to allow “guix install gnurl” to DTRT.  Deprecating the variable itself
is usually less important for packages.

As I write this, I realize we should probably document package
deprecation and removal.
