I think this is probably the first time we have this problem (that I
remember of), probably because the Jupyter dependency graph has so many
propagated inputs.

However, this is definitely something ‘guix lint’ could check with
something along the lines of the patch below.

I think it’s equivalent: ‘guix refresh -l’ simply shows the contour of
the graph whereas ‘guix graph’ lists every node.

Thanks for your feedback!
