Of course this is not perfect because the name of the phase to run the 
tests is arbitrary but this (simple) change catches this problem in 38 
packages currently in guix (and 'check seems to be convention in guix)

This came out of a frustration with failing tests in u-boot-tools which 
implements a custom 'check phase after 'install which before 
e6ec657c497cdfe9130b7bf5bdfb717a823bf02b were unskipable but passed the 
lint check.
