Jack in the thread made me notice about that as well; deprecated-package
returns a package object, so it needs to be public-define'd the usual
way:

+
+;;; Keep this until the Qt client matures enough to become the
+;;; main 'jami' client.
+(define-public jami
+  (deprecated-package "jami" jami-gnome))

And yes the package name is a string.  I fixed this in a v2 patch series
I sent along a problem propagating libringclient instead of libring for
the jami-qt client (see:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=47513#95).  MUMI
(issues.guix.gnu.org) sadly doesn't seem to have picked it up.

OK!  I've tested it on my side with actual calls, so I feel confident it
works fine.  I've made a few last changes (using LIBWRAP when building
libringclient so that it talks directly with libring instead of going
through DBus, which allows to have it work even in a 'guix pack' and
cleaning the list of imports) and pushed to master as
e6b447cf756831e8339e6462647004d88132fa07.

Thanks for the review!
