I think this patch misses the most obvious use case of the out:lib
split.  I also think that hardcoding this list is bound to fail.

Instead, we could for the time being solve this with yet another
package property.
  '((propagate-inputs-from "lib")) ; but not out
  '((propagate-inputs-from . ("lib"))) ; same meaning, different style
  '((propagate-inputs-from "out" "lib")) ; but not doc
If the property is missing, we still propagate from all outputs, as is
currently done.

WDYT?
