Ah.  So we are dragging X11 libraries as libx11 for one or two figures
in the manual. :-)

Although that’s not exactly the same as “guix pull”,

    guix graph guix -t bag-emerged

gives an idea.  Well, for example, there is a path from guix to ninja
via graphviz.

While I understand that the documentation is important, could we skip it
for some architectures?

Cheers,
simon
