Indeed. This is normally dealt with by using multiple outputs (info "(guix) Packages with Multiple Outputs"). An example of that is Git: the Tcl GUIs are moved to a separate output, and so is git-svn support, such that the main output does not depend on Tcl, libx11, Subversion, etc. Would it work here?
