Normally --dry-run should give a good overview of what will be downloaded and what will be built. However, in the presence of =E2=80=9Cgrafts=E2=80=9D, it may be that additi= onal things will be downloaded or built without you being notified beforehand. I consider this a bug but we don=E2=80=99t have an easy fix at this stage. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
