That's expected because the Debian Guile package handles generating its
slibcat in guile-libs.postinst. I didn't want to interfere with that by
changing Guile's (implementation-vicinity) and shipping a prebuilt
slibcat as I do for the other Schemes. That said, slib catalog
generation is currently disabled in the guile-3.0 postinst, presumably
because the slib in Debian didn't support it at the time.
We could fix this either by updating guile-libs.postinst, or by removing
the slib logic from the guile package completely and shipping a prebuilt
slibcat in the slib package. I guess that's up to Rob?
