Pretty much what the title says. I tried installing bc and it downloaded ghc, among other things. I was curious how this came to be, so I ran

guix graph --type=derivation bc | grep -- '-ghc'

(the dash being there to exclude accidental matches of "ghc" showing up in hashes). My understanding is that --type=derivation is the most exhaustive version, yet I didn't see any matches.

ghc-related derivations are listed among the ones to be built, but according to guix graph bc shouldn't be depending on those derivations.

Attached is the output of the command thus far (still hasn't finished, I need to swap out my laptop's hard drive sometime)
