I suggest to use version everywhere in the `uri' string:

  (string-append "https://launchpad.net/widelands/build"; version "/build" 
version "/" ...)

The description should not be indented.

I suggest to add a comment explaining that the software, as a whole, is
gpl2+, but assets are released under various licenses.

BTW, the source ships with "minizip" and "gettext" in "src/third_party".
Could you try unbundling them and use the ones provided by Guix?

Otherwise, LGTM!
