Ah yes, we should try to introduce a “lib” output there as well. I
vaguely remember this was tricky but I’m not sure why; worth a try!

Yep, would also be nice to track down.
Speaking of which, the Data Service has things like:
http://data.guix.gnu.org/gnu/store/p8in2npgl5yhliy25ikz7shjbq0gii95-guile-next-3.0.0
We could eventually use it to track the evolution of the size of
individual packages, or that of their closure (even for cross-compiled
packages). I remember a discussion with Chris Baines on this but I’m
not sure what the outcome was.
