Well, I think that you can write a manifest that walks the whole graph
and find the “leaf” packages, i.e., the packages that have no
dependents: packages that do appear elsewhere in any other packages.

Maybe there is some typo, but I think this manifest builds all the leaf
packages and thus it will build the whole packages of Guix.

Assuming, there is no mistake, I count 14143 leaf packages over 32459
packages.

Hope that helps.
