Agreed. How about making these two changes:
1. Include (gnu packages) in the default evaluation environment of
manifests.
2. (define (package-specifications->manifest specs)
(packages->manifest (map (compose list specification->package+output)
specs)))
Thoughts?
(To be clear, my suggestion is to do this in addition to adding support
for a new format.)
