Dear Maintainer,
SLIB 3b6-3 in now supports Guile 2.2 (and 3.0 with a local patch in
Debian). Could you re-enable the code in postinst that generates the
catalog file? I've tested the following with guile-2.2:

An alternative is to have the slib package install a pre-generated
slibcat file for Guile under /var/lib/slib/. I've done this for a few
other Schemes in Debian that never supported slib before (MIT, Chez,
...). In that case the slib support code can be removed from Guile's
postinst.
