[PATCH] Add 'totpages' latex package. |

Hi Guix!
This is my first guix package -- I have some texlive, ocaml and emacs packages
missing for my installation, so I thought it would be best to share them!

I renamed the package, updated its definition, set propagated inputs,
and applied it. Thank you for the initial work.
You make a fair point with the source distribution, but unfortunately,
it didn't raise much interest so far. It might be worth asking it on
Guix Devel ML.
Meanwhile, I'm closing this bug.
