Reference to variables coming from one module of an SCC that appear at
the top level of another module in the SCC.

What I meant is that ‘package-derivation’ traverses the package graph,
so it’s a natural place to add cycle detection.
But since ‘package-derivation’ is so central, care must be taken about
the performance hit and about its readability.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
