@findex specification->package+output
@findex specifications->manifest
In this example we have to know which modules define the @code{emacs}
and @code{guile-2.0} variables to provide the right
@code{use-package-modules} line, which can be cumbersome. We can
instead provide regular package specifications and let
@code{specification->package-output} look up the corresponding package
@code{specifications->manifest} look up the corresponding package
objects, like this:
@example
(packages->manifest
(map (compose list specification->package+output)
'("emacs" "guile@@2.0" "guile@@2.0:debug")))
(specifications->manifest
'("emacs" "guile@@2.2" "guile@@2.2:debug"))
@end example
