All the inputs are they required as propagated-inputs? Or only some? Maybe it could be worth to fix the broken packages (the examples above) and see if a pattern emerge for writing down a policy. Or maybe, we could propagate all the inputs since TeX can be considered as stable enough for minimizing the clash of versions. Cheers, simon
