On second thought, this may not be a great idea.

OTOH, it requires manual intervention (grepping for RequirePackage
through ".sty" and ".cls" files, and finding out the corresponding TeX
Live packages).

OTOH,

  guix import texlive --recursive collection-whatever

requires only a small fix to produce a useful output.

So, it may be better to remove "invisible" propagated inputs from
packages, keeping only those specified by TeX Live, and start providing
collections.

WDYT?
