It's good to know the reason behind the change, but as Simon said for
propagated inputs, we need a clear, exact understanding of why it is so,
as it's otherwise preferred to simple use simple inputs, and sometimes
wrapping.

Valid reasons currently include: references in public headers or
mentioned in Requires* in pkg-config files (those ending in '.pc'), or
for languages such as Python that lack a way to register dependencies in
binaries like C or C++ can (via RUNPATH in elf).

Can you spot which of the above it is?
