Hi,

for those who contributed to sequoia packaging:

Currently, sequoia is packages somewhat sub-optimal:

There are some rust-creates in crates-io.scm (rust-sequoia-openpgp-0.9, rust-sequoia-rfc2822-0.9) and the big sequoia package in sequoia.scm. The other sequoia crates are currently not available as separate creates. Future versions of pEp (pretty easy privacy, pep.scm, which relies on sequoia) will get its own "pEpEngineSequoiaBackend" FFI library.

I propose the following:

 * Move all sequoia related crates in to sequoia.scm. As of now these
   are only rust-sequoia-openpgp-0.9, rust-sequoia-rfc2822-0.9 and
   there is only on package depending on them rust-libpijul-0.12
 * bufferedreader, rust-nettle and other crates from the sequoia
   project but not having "sequoia" (or such) in the name would be kept
   in crates-io.scm
 * In sequoia.scm there would be all sequoia crates, with the app
   packages named without "rust-" prefix ("sequoia-sq", …)
 * The current "sequoia" package will become a "wrapper", just
   propagating (or copying, what ever is more common in guix) the other
   packages which have an actual output.

WDYT?
