Hi Jelle!

Thank you very much for the patch.

IMHO, optional dependencies should not be propagated.  On user side
installing additional packages is easier than transforming existing
package and removing unneeded propagated deps.  Personally, I would
remove all the propagated inputs from piem and let the user install what
he needs for his particular use case.

Liliana, Jelle WDYT?

I'm of two minds, both for this particular patch, and the policy in
general. I understand the point you are making, and see the elegance of
offering a clean set of composable parts for users (and downstream) to
compose.

OTOH, it makes getting full-featured (and compiled) packages a chore,
where users or downstream has to pick up the slack. Put another
way; someone somewhere has to make a package variant if you want to
cover all use cases.

It is my understanding the guideline is (/was?) to have packages be
full-featured, and offer a '-minimal' version in cases where it makes
sense (e.g. bootstrapping, less-than-sane dependency graphs). If this
guideline has since changed, or (in this case) the Emacs teams decides
otherwise, that is something I'm obviously fine with. Some practical
tips on how to make byte compilation happen would still be appreciated
in that case :-).

All the best,
- Jelle

I think we can do byte/native compilation without propagating deps, so
it's almost ready to consume, but doesn't pollute the profile.

s/he needs/they need/

Other than that, I don't really have an opinion, but at the very least
we don't *have* to propagate debbugs, given that users who want to use
that probably already have it.  As for why I don't really have an
opinion: I don't know how central the existing propagations are towards
the working of emacs-piem.

That being said, we could always make those inputs regular (which might
be helpful for byte/native-compilation).
