I've been trying to cleanup the dependencies in wip-bootstrap.  I found
that using `package-with-bootstrap-guile' confuses guix graph.  Or so it
seems, many duplicates of those packages show up.

Here's an image created with this hack: replace
`package-with-bootstrap-guile' with `identity' in commencement.scm and
mes.scm

Where it says `bootstrap-binaries0', not that binutils, gcc, glibc are
not used.
