     I guess the PostgreSQL dependency might be debatable since it would
     probably significantly increase the closure size.  Could you check ???guix
     size??? and decide whether adding this dependency is a good thing, based
     on its size/benefit ratio?   :-)
     
For this reasons, most distos which ship postgres put the libpq &c in a seperate package.
Guix so far as I can see is the only one which does not.  Should we split postgres into
two (or more) outputs ?
