If you agree, I will modify the package > accordingly. It’s a bit trickier. linux-libre-headers is propagated by glibc, so if you install glibc, you get both. However, glibc is an /implicit/ input of everything that uses ‘gnu-build-system’, such as libgcrypt. So it doesn’t get installed when you install libgcrypt. I’m not sure whether glibc should be automatically installed as if it were a propagated input. If the answer were “yes”, I’m not sure how to achieve it elegantly, because implicit inputs are hidden, by definition. Thoughts? Ludo’.
