Oh my! I am a bit shocked by this honestly ... why is it treated as a
minor security issue?

I realize Guix is pretty niche in Debian... Nix is perhaps a little more
widely used...

For anyone with Guix or Nix installed, if I understand correctly, it
basically allows arbitrarily replacing the source code for anything that
you might build using Guix or Nix.

I can... although, I would like to make a kind and freindly nudge to
reconsider a DSA if at all possible. :)
