You can check on this with the `guix gc` tool.
Specifically, like this:
$ guix gc --references $(guix build sbcl-cl-webkit)
That will show you the "store references" of the built sbcl-cl-webkit
package. These store references are strings that refer to files in
/gnu/store, found by scanning the result of building sbcl-cl-webkit.
These references are recorded in the Guix database at
'/var/guix/db/db.sqlite'.
The built package must keep references to its runtime dependencies, or
they will be subject to garbage collection, and that would represent a
bug in the package definition.
Does that make sense?
