Do you mean that ‘package-description-string’ should take an optional
'fill-column' argument, so that it can be called from the elisp side?
If so, I'm afraid currently there is no way to have such fine tuning for
the received package parameters. The package (or generation) data is
received all at once using ‘guix-get-entries’, for example:
(guix-get-entries guix-current-profile 'package 'name '("r"))
(guix-get-entries guix-current-profile 'generation 'last '(3))
As you can see there is no place to specify fill-column there. But I
have noted this thing, perhaps it will become possible one day.
