When I originally added the squashfs support to “guix pack” I had
Singularity in mind, but since it didn’t do anything particular for
Singularity I named it “squashfs”.
squashfs is used as a format by Snap (which we don’t explicitly support
yet), but it is also generally useful as a way to share disk images,
which could for example be used with lxc containers.

In my opinion, going forward we should not conflate “squashfs” and
Singularity more and eventually *add* a format handler for Singularity
3.x.
But these changes to the “squashfs” format handler look fine to me.
Let’s deal with Singularity 3.x later.
Thanks!
