(ins)efraim@E5400 ~/workspace/guix$ git grep make-files-writable | grep unpack 
| grep gnu/packages
gnu/packages/bioinformatics.scm:         (add-after 'unpack 'make-files-writable

My only concern would be if there were files which weren't supposed to
be writable. We're building the package, not making changes to be
submitted upstream or anything, so I don't see that as being a reason to
hold back.

I'm in favor
