Thanks for the update!

If that's the case could you please add a comment in #41732 that points
to #43538 explaining that it solves the use cases of #41732, possibly
with some examples and/or a Coockbook section?

Re the subject: do you think #43578 can help users in getting
emacs-lucid starting from emacs? Do you have an example please?

AFAIU having a public emacs-lucid in Guix master is a better solution
for users, but I may be missing something! :-D

Happy hacking! Gio'
