This is apparently coming from Graphviz:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix graph --path guix libx11
guix@1.4.0-5.286cdf0
graphviz@2.49.0
libx11@1.7.3.1
$ guix graph --path guix libxt
guix@1.4.0-5.286cdf0
graphviz@2.49.0
libxaw@1.0.14
libxt@1.2.1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Surprising to me, but apparently it’s been this way from the start,
commit b1b07d72c755ea314fb0c8333cd88293ee504ce4 (2013!).
Maybe these are optional dependencies?
