I tried applying those patches, but could not get the test suites to
pass, or even when ignoring the test suites, failed to actually get
guix-daemon 1.5.0 to work correctly... lots of issues with corrupt
substitutes.

For now, I've uploaded guix 1.5.0-1 to Debian without those patches, at
least fixing the other long-outstanding security vulnerabilities and
other issues... the patches from guix-1.5.0-backports branch apply
pretty easily if someone else wants to try to shake out the remaining
problems.
