That's not relevant anymore, but our current inkscape 1.2 depends on
imagemagick still.  Seeing how it now links directly to it, I've added
it to inputs as well in commit 552ebc47af and pushed to core-updates.

Closing!

Hi Guix,

On
$ guix --version
> guix (GNU Guix) 510e24f973a918391d8122fd6ad515c0567bf23e

with
$ guix graph --type=references inkscape

it can be seen inkscape retains the reference to imagemagick,
even though imagemagick is in native-inputs.

Greetings,
Maxime.
