orter very helpful, even if it was imperfect. Are you using the importer =
or doing the work by hand?

My point is less the work, but the non-transitive declarations:
nettle-sys is an multi-indirect input for sequioa-sqv, still the later
needs to specify these dependencies.

This importer does not solve the declarations, and IMHO it should not
anyway - as the are dependencies of another packages, which might change
over time.
