On second thought that’s probably not a great idea: we’d retain
references to the .drv themselves, which can end up taking a bit of
space, especially if --gc-keep-outputs is in use.
So… the more I think about it the more I’m tempted to punt on this one.
The discrepancy we see here does not happen when using --manifest, which
is probably what matters most.
Thoughts?
