I think this is independently useful work to do (and thanks for taking
it on), and since upstream says they use 1.8 and everyone else says
that 1.8 works, and that 1.6.8 has trouble, it is surely the best
thing to simply proceed ahead with 1.8 and then depend on that for
Debian lilypond.

My experience is that guile-1.6.7 (from debian-stable) and guile-1.8 (from source)
work similarly. With guile-1.6.7 and guile-1.8 it is possible to "make all".
The problem which directly relates to guile seems to be connected
to guile version 1.6.8 (in debian-testing/-sid), with which the command

  #(use-modules ...)

in a lilypond source ends up with an error. 

I would also suggest to push guile-1.8 in debian testing. This would make it possible 
to jump over the existing problems with guile-1.6.8.
