I have not tested the wip-fibers variant of Shepherd with Guix.
However, looking at scm->go (the procudure resonsible for compiling)
in (gnu services shepherd):

    (with-extensions (list shepherd) [...])

, I'm wondering if the 'propagated-inputs' of 'shepherd' are respected
here.  Looking at (guix gexp), I don't see any mention of propagation
anywhere, so I guess not (unverified).  Maybe that's why (fibers) could
not be found?

For completeness, you could try inheriting from 'shepherd' and using
git-reference/git-checkout instead of the copy-build-system

  (package
    (inherit shepherd)
    (source (git-checkout (url "/home/florian/...") (commit ...))))

which would be closer to how shepherd is usually compiled.

Greetings,
Maxime.
