Yes, I would rather do that (propagate inputs as soon as one of the
built libraries requires it.) You can put a comment there explaining
the situation.
Ideally we’d have per-output propagation, so one could put
polkit-gobject in one output and polkit-agent in another and have
different propagated inputs. But that’s not supported ATM, and maybe
not widely useful.
