I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of functional
package management here.  yadm should – like any other package – depend
on its inputs and just its inputs.  Whether or not you have another
package installed should not be relevant for the functioning of yadm
and likewise not cause a rebuild.  What should cause a rebuild is any
of its inputs changing between two generations of `guix pull'.

Regards,
Leo
