Related (I hope) is: build packages with several outputs. For instance,
’git’ has several 'outputs' ("send-email", "svn", etc.), so the list of
"inputs" provides e.g., "subversion" even if I am only interested by
e.g., "git:send-email". This matters about closure.
And it is maybe an occasion to revisit the museum, i.e., the TODO file:
** extend ‘propagated-build-inputs’ with support for multiple outputs
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(outputs '("out" "include"))
(propagated-build-inputs
`(((("i1" ,p1 "o1")
("i2" ,p2))
=> "include")
("i3" ,p3)))
#+END_SRC
