It might not clash, but is its behaviour correct?  IIRC, prepend and
append take a list of packages inside modify-inputs, so if I wanted to
add spam, ham, eggs, milk and butter to a python-package, I'd write
that as

(modify-inputs my-package
  (prepend python-spam
       python-ham
     python-eggs
     python-milk
     python-butter))

That doesn't seem right, now does it?
