All inputs of a package are build-time, whether normal, native or propagated. The result may reference some of them, and these references are the run-time dependencies.
native-inputs are usually buill-time only, because they are usually programs that are run during the build (hence the need for them to be native in a cross-build).
propagated-inputs breaks this nice model by making them run-time dependencies despite the abscence of a reference.
I think focusing on the name is distracting, but maybe "dependent-inputs", since this type of input would only affect the inputs of its dependents?
