This is a good idea for the "bad" plugins, because they are rarely used
in Guix, so there is less chance of unecessary duplication compared to
the other collections of GStreamer plugins.

Still, it increases complexity, and it sholud be "worth it" in some
sense. If gst-plugins/selection becomes popular, it may be that the
increase in package objects outweighs the disk space savings — the
package graph may grow so large that it slows Guix package operations
down too much. The disk space savings may be obviated in that case,
anyways.

If you choose to apply for commit access, as I suggested, you will be
able to use your judgement here :)
