It is the case for inkscape@1.0.2

(ins)efraim@3900XT ~$ guix package -A inkscape
inkscape        1.0.2   out     gnu/packages/inkscape.scm:121:2
inkscape        0.92.4  out     gnu/packages/inkscape.scm:56:2
(ins)efraim@3900XT ~$ guix gc --references $(guix build inkscape@1) | grep -i imagemagick
/gnu/store/y4rym48vihmh3jk9qnll0zqfnxzi9n6v-imagemagick-6.9.12-4

I believe it comes from the glib-or-gtk-wrap phase where it wraps the
XDG_DATA_DIRS and likely grabs more than it needs.
