Hi everyone,
thanks for your suggestions. My award for the most useful one (to me)
goes to Mathieu :

Since the information is stored with all packages, it would be
reasonable for "guix show" to display it as well. I'll look at this and
propose a patch if I succeed.
It's a bit surprising at first sight that there are multiple channels. I
suspect that the list contains the channels of all inputs as well,
recursively, meaning that channel "guix" is present almost everywhere.
Cheers,
Konrad.
