This is certainly an interesting question.  With other Emacs packages,
there is sometimes a contrib version, that adds "more", see e.g. org-
mode or telega.  But those are tied closely to what upstream considers
contrib, so I don't think that applies here.

IIUC selectrum is likewise optional.  Perhaps we should consider not
propagating optional inputs, but rather adding them as normal inputs –
so that byte compilation succeeds, but users won't be forced to have a
rather large elisp library as part of their profiles if it's not
needed.

I've CC'd Maxim to get their input on the matter, the patch otherwise
LGTM.

Regards,
Leo
