I looked at the Guix recipe for tzdata and it seems nontrivial. There
is compilation with GCC. Therefore I fear using Debian’s tzdata from
Guix’s Emacs. I suppose I will continue using Guix’s tzdata. Indeed, I
recall having heard that Guix packages are not supposed to access files
from the foreign distro outside of a few locations such as the user’s
home.

Pardoned. :)
