I think it has to do with grafts; when a package must be grafted, all its output must be available. Grafts complicates many things, but unfortunately they are necessary to provide timely security updates. I don't see a bug anymore for that one, we should try to improve things here; feel free to report it to bug-g...@gnu.org, perhaps with a title like "grafts cause all outputs to be downloaded". Perhaps a solution would be making graft derivations substitutable (currently they happen on the local machine). -- Thanks, Maxim
