I'd suggest we should do something "soonish".  This is the last package
holding guile-2.0 in testing, and I'd *really* like to be able to finish
the guile-2.0 removal.

For what it's worth, I thought I'd see how hard it might be to update to
guile-3.0, and the attached (very primitive/incomplete) diff does get
the current package to build and pass all but one of the tests here
(assuming that wasn't a short-circuit and there are more tests after
that).

However, unless someone's interested in maintaining the package,
pursuing guile-3.0 support, upgrading to 1.10, etc.  Perhaps it's best
to file for removal now.  We can always reintroduce it later, if the
situation improves.
