Sorry, I don't understand; the usual problem seems to be _preventing_
that, e.g. to cure cycles.  It may not be in the package definition, but
if I mention "lib" in some file in "out", it will do the job, won't it?

I don't think that's necessary, but the fact that this sort of thing
isn't straightforward seems to me a Guix deficiency which might be
addressed.
