If you are referring to bug#59278, the bug is on the package definition
side.  As explained here [1], the ’hidden’ properties is dropped out at
one ’inherit’.

I agree that what is hidden is not clear.  Maybe a marker could be added
when displaying the hidden packages in “guix refresh -l”.  It would
allow to filter them out.

Or we could separate the regular packages to the hidden one,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix refresh -l guile-ssh
Building the following 19 packages would ensure 26 dependent packages are rebuilt: emacs-guix@0.5.2-6.cf5b7a4 guile-imanifest@0.0.0-0.ccd5a21 cl-ospm@0.0.1 gwl@0.5.0 guix-jupyter@0.2.2 guix-build-coordinator@0-65.26fe4a7 guix-build-coordinator-agent-only@0-65.26fe4a7 gwl-next@0.5.0-1.706a089 nar-herder@0-9.5acfcc0 guix-modules@0.1.0 hpcguix-web@0.2.0 guix-data-service@0.0.1-33.ee73d2c numix-gtk-theme@2.6.7 arc-theme@20220405 gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect@50 gnome-terminal@3.44.1 gnome@42.4 cuirass@1.1.0-11.9f08035 '(@@ (gnu packages package-management) guix-daemon)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Well, maybe a rework of the submission #58824 [1].
