I would go with this one. But the thing is that [fn:1] is specific and
makes sense only for guix. At least from my point of view. So I doubt
that the upstream accept it. But you can try for sure.

As I am not a regular obs user, I am afraid I won't be able to find time
for this soon. Feel free to use/delete/revert [fn:1]. It is your call.
