Hello!
While installing 1.2.0rc2 (I selected GNOME), I noticed that different
derivations of the same packages are grafted (screenshot below).
I don’t think it should block 1.2.0 but we should definitely find out
why this happens as this increases installation time and possible disk
usage.
Looking at the first two ungrafted .drvs for libcanberra shown in the
screenshot, both depend on two gdk-pixbuf+svg derivations (!), and one
of them differs. It appears that one of them depends on
libx11-1.6.9.drv while the other depends on libx11-1.6.A.drv.
What I observe here seems different:

There are two grafting derivations and one non-grafting. The two
grafting derivations differ in their GTK+ input, presumably because of
multiple outputs.
