That makes sense.
What about:
1. Computing the list of search-path-specifications of all the
transitive inputs of the package, the way ‘package-derivation’
does it;
2. Computing, based on these specifications and all the input
derivations, the actual search paths, the way ‘set-paths’ does it?
Unless I’m mistaken, this would be equivalent to what happens with
‘build-system’ implementations, so that should work.
HTH!
