On <https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/packages/I/> the list of patches
for IceCat currently looks like this:

  36bd15d14c5a, 2909ba991f31, icecat-bug-1415133.patch, cf34a0574e58.

Most of these patches are origins with a descriptive 'file-name' field.
In many cases, those fields show the associated CVE.  It would be much
better to show those 'file-name' fields here instead of the basenames of
the URLs, which are obviously quite inscrutable.
