I can definitely understand the usability argument.  The counter
argument would be this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size cups-filters | tail -1
total: 270.4 MiB
$ guix size cups-filters escpr hplip foomatic-filters | tail -1
total: 569.5 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think carrying all this could make =E2=80=98guix system reconfigure=E2=80=
=99
heavyweight for many=E2=80=94lots of unnecessary downloads/rebuilds, etc.

What do people think?

I suppose on Debian etc., one has to explicitly install the right
packages, no?
