Exactly.

The issue is that the =E2=80=9865 packages=E2=80=99 lines comes from the bu=
ild side log
(which doesn=E2=80=99t know the distinction between propagated inputs and t=
he
rest), while the =E2=80=9851 packages=E2=80=99 line comes from =E2=80=98gui=
x package=E2=80=99.

Perhaps the log should say =E2=80=9865 items=E2=80=99, to make it clear it=
=E2=80=99s not
counting the same thing.

Alternately, we could also remove that line altogether.

WDYT?
