You can still use "0" or "0.0.0" for the base version.

I forgot to mention this, but this should be a snippet, perhaps even a
computed origin.
Also, as it has been noted in your Nextcloud patch (IIRC), you should
formulate this in terms of what to keep.
E.g. 
  '(;; custom forks of existing packages
    ;; the forks are incompatible with what we have in Guix
    "abseil-cpp" "libsrtp" "openh264" "rnnoise" 
    ;; XXX: packages currently lacking a description
    "pffft" "usrsctp")

Should be after unpack (see above), otherwise LGTM.

Use long hashes.  Also, try to make things work with the nearest
release.  You might also want to package them individually as "libvpx-
for-telegram-desktop" etc. if everything else fails, see stepmania as
an example with a custom ffmpeg.

As per our discussion in IRC, this should be part of the telegram
module.
