I think it's not a problem to have nextcloud-desktop in sync.scm. As we
don't have Nextcloud server yet, so we could move it later.

Those apps are plug-ins for the server package, so we first need a
server package [Spoiler: I don't have one, I'm just running nextcloud
server on guix].

Thanks Tim for bringing in this patch. I tried a few weeks back to
package nextcloud-desktop but didn't get it working... So nice that you
got it!
