I think we should package the latest version, at least.

Maybe we could also package 0.6 with a package 'python-pypump-0.6' that
inherits from python-pypump. Or, you could keep that inherited
python-pypump-0.6 in a private package repo, and use GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH.

I'd prefer the latter option. I don't think we have a precedent of
adding old releases, although we do sometimes keep them around for
compatibility. But I could be mistaken.

What do people think we should do?
