Greetings, Maxime.

By building it, syntax errors, API mismatches, etc. are detected
earlier, making updating the crate and its dependents less error-prone.
And from (guix)Rust Crates:
Care should be taken to ensure the correct version of
dependencies are used; to this end we try to refrain from skipping
the tests or using ‘#:skip-build?’ when possible.
Additionally, compiling libraries earlier can save compile time later
(*). Imagine having to rebuild glibc and gtk every time a new graphical
application using gtk is packaged ...
(*) There might currently be technical problems with rust and shared
libraries preventing this from working though. Or maybe they have been
resolved, I dunno.
Greetings,
Maxime.

If you remove the dependency from the upstream crate, does it fail to build? If so, with what error messages? Greetings, Maxime.
