It helps a bit already, in that, for instance, adding Guile-Charting and its dependency on (gnu packages gtk) would have been impossible before, but here does not cause any problems. Comments welcome! I=E2=80=99m closing this bug but we=E2=80=99ll certainly have to keep an ey= e on it, so feel free to reopen as you see fit. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
