I find it clearer to put the comment right below =E2=80=98propagated-inputs=
=E2=80=99.

The problem is that I don=E2=80=99t think it works to put an absolute file =
name
in the =E2=80=98Requires=E2=80=99 field of a =E2=80=98.pc=E2=80=99 file, so=
 I don=E2=80=99t think we can avoid
it unfortunately.

However, since Augeas is a library, the propagated input is acceptable:
in practice, people probably won=E2=80=99t have it in their main environmen=
t,
but rather in a =E2=80=98guix environment=E2=80=99 thing, or in a dedicated=
 development
profile.
