There are two separate issues here: one is the =E2=80=98guix=E2=80=99 packa=
ge in Guix,
and another one is the required dependencies for those building from
source.

I=E2=80=99d rather have magit-popup be an optional dependency for someone
building from source.

I wouldn=E2=80=99t mind adding magit-popup as a dependency of the =E2=80=98=
guix=E2=80=99 package
in Guix if magit-popup were a separate package.  Currently, we=E2=80=99d ne=
ed to
have =E2=80=98guix=E2=80=99 depend on =E2=80=98magit=E2=80=99, which is pre=
tty big since it depends on
=E2=80=98git=E2=80=99; not great.  Can magit-popup be made a separate packa=
ge?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
