I don't think you're improving anything here really.  These variables
are already labeled "for-telegram-desktop", so using the telegram-
desktop version here makes natural sense.  We can still use Guix
revisions if some component needs updating and we find out later
(through bug reports etc.)  The origin rebuilds are not a big deal
whatsoever.  For one, we have store deduplication, for the other, the
huge cost is the actual building of telegram-desktop, which we cannot
abstract away with while only half-ass unbundling stuff.

Thus, as long as these packages have no use outside of building
Telegram, I'd very much prefer a scheme that lets us update them all
easily by just changing one version and a bunch of hashes.

Cheers
