“guix refresh” considers the importers’ output to be authoritative.  Can
the Python importer be improved to discover the need for TeX things?
(If not the whole list of packages perhaps a collection package.)

In the CRAN importer we routinely check the contents of Makefiles,
configure scripts, etc to detect otherwise undeclared dependencies.
Perhaps the pypi importer could do something similar.
