Well, the name is slightly less intuitive.

Alternatively, we can keep that name, and use something like:

  (define-module (distro packages nano)
    #:use-module ((distro packages gettext)
                  #:renamer (symbol-prefix-proc 'guix:))
    #:use-module (distro packages ncurses)
    #:use-module (guix packages)
    #:use-module (guix download)
    #:use-module (guix build-system gnu))

The effect is that the package will be known as ‘guix:gettext’ within
this module.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
