I forgot to try.  error.log contains a 404 message:

2020/07/12 08:09:14 [error] 321#0: *1 open() "/srv/guix.gnu.org/graphics" 
failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 172.28.112.1, server: 
guix.gnu.org, request: "GET /graphics HTTP/1.1", host: "guix.gnu.org"
2020/07/12 08:09:14 [error] 321#0: *1 open() "/srv/guix.gnu.org/favicon.ico" 
failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 172.28.112.1, server: 
guix.gnu.org, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1", host: "guix.gnu.org"

Note that only directories /srv/guix.gnu.org/de/graphics and
/srv/guix.gnu.org/en/graphics exist and no longer
/srv/guix.gnu.org/graphics.

I don’t have ideas for rewriting, because URLs like
<http://guix.gnu.org/index.html> should not become
<http://guix.gnu.org/index.html/>.  One could make /en/ go to the
/srv/guix.gnu.org directory, but then <http://guix.gnu.org/graphics>
would always be in English.  Or for old URLs use my last proposed patch:

And for new URLs never use <http://guix.gnu.org/new> without a slash
at the end but only <http://guix.gnu.org/new/>.
