That's a much better idea than what I had proposed.

I found that I had to move the attic package definition below borg's, or
else the borg variable was unbound when building (gnu packages backup):

------

;;; note: source file ./gnu/packages/backup.scm

So the attached patch moves attic after borg and supersedes it. Is it
expected that we have to shuffle the package definition around like
this?
