Very quick answer: Try to add it to normal inputs.

Propagated inputs are packages that are installed when the new package is
installed; this covers cases when the new package cannot *run* without the
propagated input, broadly speaking. They may not even be around when
building the new package (I do not remember how this works, but your
experience seems to indicate it).
