(package (inherit x) …) creates a copy of ‘x’, possibly changing some of
the fields.

The connection between the resulting package and ‘x’ is not recorded
(keeping that information would be undesirable since it would prevent
garbage collection of temporary copies, potentially leading to unbounded
memory usage!).

HTH,
