OK.

Btw, I also noticed that the procedure 'flatten' are defined in
(gnu services telephony), (gnu services web) and (guix import utils).
[I was about to define my own version of it...]
I like the version using 'fold-right' together with 'match-lambda*' the
most. Should we move it (guix build utils) and remove the rest?

Similarly, 'file-sans-extension' are defined in both (guix utils) and
(guix build guile-build-system). They are both the same. Should we move
them to (guix build utils) as well?
