bug#36782: Website manual language links

bug#36785: Impossible to pull on foreign distro

Hi guix, I gave a small tutorial to someone today, where we installed guix on top of a foreign distro. We used the script and everything went smoothly, and after finding out that we were going to build php (we were trying to define a VM that would serve one of their services), we tried to run g
