Hi Alex,

That’s good news, I always wonder whether/how this could be fixed.  :-)

It noticeably increases the size of the Emacs closure though:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size emacs |tail -1
total: 795.1 MiB
$ guix size emacs imagemagick |tail -1
total: 904.4 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

There a few big packages showing up in the profile; we should try to
make them smaller, perhaps by introducing separate outputs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size imagemagick 
store item                                                       total    self

Thoughts?
