after having successfully packaged (locally) the Zenburn theme and

But for the first time it happens that the downloaded source code is not
tarred so tar fails and so does the unpack phase.
How do I instruct the origin object not to attempt untarring my source ?
It’s OK if the ‘origin’ denotes a file that is not a tarball.
However, the build procedure will have to pay attention for that. For
instance, the default sequence of phases of ‘gnu-build-system’ includes
an ‘unpack’ phase, which is inappropriate here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Build-Systems.html
There are a couple of examples, e.g., paredit in emacs.scm. Most of
them use ‘trivial-build-system’, which requires explicitly writing the
build/install operations.
If it is a single file then I believe it is as simple as deleting the
unpack phase e.g. fasttree in bioinformatics.scm, I had thought it was
still good practice not to use the trivial build system where possible
as it omits some useful defaults.
