At the time of Guix Days 2020 [1], I packaged as proof-of-concept one
talk [2] shareable via a custom channel.  But the <package> record
does not fit well for distributing data.  Guix could be used for that
but, IMHO, it lacks a layer or something.  For instance, when you
build data, you have multi-origin, say
http://dx.doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.4353 and
http://dx.doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.4354.
