Nevertheless, commit 8e57e416c0a6431a14d487ff8b69dece76d37c03 makes sure
‘guix refresh -l’ accounts for hidden packages.

For instance, previously it would not report the hidden ‘xorg-server’
when running ‘guix refresh -l dri2proto’; it now does.

I think it doesn’t change results significantly though.
