Hi David,

One issue that I discovered is that, most of the time, dependencies on
other SuiteSparse packages should be propagated because headers include
one another.

For example, public headers of ‘suitesparse-amd’ include those from
‘suitesparse-config’:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ grep config $(guix build suitesparse-amd)/include/*.h
/gnu/store/kiq1bwzx4dlmmpqv14l9crqrjwigmgns-suitesparse-amd-3.2.0/include/amd.h:#include "SuiteSparse_config.h"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

We should check and probably change most ‘inputs’ to
‘propagated-inputs’.

Could you take a look?

TIA,
Ludo’.
