The latter is true and makes sense to me, but note that both take about
the same amount of space:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size $(guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages cmake) cmake-minimal)')|tail -1
total: 215.1 MiB
$ guix size cmake | tail -1
total: 217.8 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The two are functionally equivalent (same run-time dependencies), which
I guess is the reason why ‘cmake-minimal’ isn’t public, unlike other
“-minimal” variants.
