I'm not helping. But there are other candidates than irony-mode now. For two
scenarios:

    1. You have a way to generate compilation database:

       Use cquery with lsp-mode. cquery is a fully featured c/c++/objective-c
       language server.

       or

       Use rtags.  The server is packaged in Guix. Personal experience tells
       that cquery is better at its job.  But you can be the judge. :)

    2. You can't generate a compilation database:

       Just use company-clang and flycheck, which combined should do everything
       irony could.

If this doesn't convince you to give up irony-mode. Then your packaging looks
good to me.  If there really is room to improve, maybe you can extract the
"source" part out?  Note that I'm not proficient as others here.
