However, =E2=80=9Cguix install emacs-foo=E2=80=9D does not install= the package =E2=80=99emacs=E2=80=99, i.e., =E2=80=99emacs-foo=E2=80=99 cannot perform a= ny of its functions. ;-) > I know, but this Emacs library is not supposed to provide the features > itself.

On the other side, I remember discussions about =E2=80=99git=E2=80=99 as in= puts in =E2=80=99emacs-magit=E2=80=99. Or =E2=80=99the-silver-searcher=E2=80=99 fo= r =E2=80=99emacs-ag=E2=80=99. Maybe it is worth to improve section about Emacs packages in the manual. Rough draft: =C2=ABThe external tools required by the package are not included as inputs, except if they are required at compile or test time.=C2=BB Well, I am sure someone will find a better wording. ;-) > Maybe Guix is missing a "suggested depedencies" flag, somehow. Yeah, maybe. One way should to add a =E2=80=99properties=E2=80=99 as =E2=80=99suggest=E2= =80=99. Well, from my experience with Debian, I am not convinced that this suggest field really helps. Maybe for discovery. The easiest way is to provide a sentence in the =E2=80=99description=E2=80= =99 field about such. Cheers, simon
