[bug#49149] [PATCH 0/7] Add deb format for guix pack.

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hello Guix!

This patch set adds support to produce Debian archives (.deb packages) via
guix pack.  It's rudimentary but functional.  You can try a simple example
like so:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix pack -f deb -C xz hello -S /usr/bin/hello=bin/hello

Copy the generated .deb to your dpkg-based distribution of choice, then:

$ sudo apt install ./91ypmi1j5py9qk034kki5wrgy0n52yz9-hello-deb-pack.deb

$ realpath $(which hello)
/gnu/store/lk9cmjjhgxpkxxi7m54y0jlv3rqvpb2n-hello-2.10/bin/hello
$ hello
Hello, world!

Fun, no?  We can now distribute software built with Guix transparently to any
Debian-based distribution.
