Even though we added some inputs, there appear to be no retained
references in the output, as shown by this command:

  guix gc --referrers $(./pre-inst-env guix build java-asm)

Is this expected?  At first blush, this seems reasonable only if
java-aqute-bndlib and java-aqute-libg are not required at runtime.
Perhaps Ricardo knows more, since he has more experience working with
the ant-build-system.
