Aahh, that makes sense. :-)  Thank you.

For instance, does it mean that

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-public gst-plugins-good-qt
  (package
    (inherit gst-plugins-good)
    (name "gst-plugins-good-qt")
    (inputs
     (modify-inputs (package-inputs gst-plugins-good)
       (prepend qtbase-5
                qtdeclarative-5
                qtwayland-5
                qtx11extras)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

would be incorrect?  It should be 'package/inherit', right?

Cheers,
simon
