* gnu/packages/linux.scm (acpilight): New variable.
---
Maxime,

Thanks for the review.  I should have re-read this old package more throughly,
I have fixed what you pointed out:
- using gexp in arguments field
- don't returning #t in phases
- adding coreutils-minimal to inputs

As for the odd make-flags, this is because of the uncanonical Makefile¹ of
acpilight, It don't build with an empty DESTDIR.

Cheers,
- Brice

Looks like the problem is caused by 'sysconfdir' not being based
on 'prefix', but that can be resolved by

#~(list (string-append "prefix=" #$output)
	(string-append "sysconfdir=" (string-append #$output "/etc")))

which is not 100% canonical, but it does seems closer to me?

Also, apparently there's a 'python-minimal' package, so you could use
that instead of 'python' to reduce the closure?  Might be counter-
productive though, since most packages seem to use plain 'python'
instead ...

whose closure
would be smaller than
