Hello,
I noticed my /run/current-system would depend on two different
‘network-manager’.
Looking more closely, both are grafts, but the different is that the
first one only has the “out” output while the other one has “out” and
“doc”:

I believe this is because the optimization in commit
482fda2729c3e76999892cb8f9a0391a7bd37119 work as expected when the graft
is used as a package input, but doesn’t fire when the package is used in
a gexp for instance.
That’s because ‘package-compiler’ calls ‘package-derivation’, which
doesn’t specify which output(s) we’re interested in.
