I would rather keep the current package cache as-is instead of inserting
sqlite in here.  I don’t expect it to bring much compared
performance-wise to the current simple cache (especially if we look at
load time), and it does increase complexity quite a bit.

However, using sqlite for keyword search as you initially proposed on
guix-devel does sound like a great idea to me.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
