(body
(en "Debian archives (with the .deb file extension) can now be
produced via the @command{guix pack --format=deb} command, providing an
alternative distribution path for software built with Guix. Here is a simple
example that generates a Debian archive for the @code{hello} package:
@example
guix pack --format=deb --symlink=/usr/bin/hello=bin/hello hello
@end example
See @command{info \"(guix) Invoking guix pack\"} for more information.")))
