Then it either will not have LilyPond anymore, have LilyPond with a
private compilation of Guile-1.8 included (unlikely since mostly
pointless), or have an utterly unusable version of LilyPond that will
give us a bad rap.

I don't think there are other options at the moment.

Note that we don't actually need a guile-1.8 package (with command line
executable) to run LilyPond, but libguile-1.8 for running and
guile-1.8-dev for compiling are likely necessary.
