Hello,

I just noticed this:

  $ guix gc --references /gnu/store/whj6j9f34adpzwhfj3qf00fcq9zsb3hp-ruby-i=
18n-0.6.11
  [nothing here]

Apparently the .gem is +/- a gzip archive, which makes it opaque to the
GC, hence the above result.

Is it something we should worry about, or is it fine because .gem files
in general don=E2=80=99t won=E2=80=99t hold any reference to something else?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
