Hi Ludo,

This is very good! Thanks for implementing it!

We often see this at the MDC because some people don’t use manifests and
I may have upgraded the shared Guix instance between invocations of
“guix package”. This happens particularly often with numpy because
that’s propagated quite often. (I’d *love* to get rid of propagated
inputs in Python! They are so annoying!)
> Thoughts?
I’ll give this a try soon and report my experience with it.
Thanks again!
