For my part — an enthusiastic Emacs user — I'd be a little hesitant to go down 
the path of adding explicit package dependencies for runtime requirements of 
obscure commands. I would hate to think that one day I wouldn't be able to 
install or build the Emacs guix package because something was broken in the 
wiggle guix package. But I'm open minded to further arguments for this.

It would be nice, I suppose, if Guix had something like "recommended packages" 
in Debian.
