This needs a proper commit message.  Look in the git logs for examples.

I suspect that all of those inputs should instead be native-inputs.  If
the code in those packages is executed at build time, then they should
be native-inputs.  If the code is executed at run-time, they should be
normal inputs.  The distinction is important when cross compiling.

Please fix the indentation here.

Otherwise looks good to me.
