Fixed in 18fa433bf5c420868562b9f4b017c5c97251a44b on ‘core-updates’.

There are other similar situations that prevent this solution on
‘master’ anyway.

In particular, any package that has the same dependency both in ‘inputs’
and in ‘native-inputs’ ends up with duplicates in ‘%build-inputs’.  This
is the case, for example, of ‘help2man’, where Perl is both in
‘native-inputs’ and in ‘inputs’.
