I agree, because it is not the first time that "guix pull" breaks. For
example, this commit 41ca406fa54e69f61c55b11ffe5cf465192a907c reverted
by this one 74e7465c9b3758c1509a3e0dbe575e2014e20f0a.

Document in the manual and maybe add a test in the test-suite (maybe
already exist?)

All the best,
simon
