I think you need to provide it. Try removing it. Does your package still build?

If it's used only at build time, it's a native input. If it's used at runtime,
regular input (if possible).
I don't think setuptools is running when s3cmd is running, so just have it as a
native input.
As for the cross-compiling, you're right, I don't think it's important in this
case.
However, I think for documentation purposes it would still be nice to see which
of the things are required only for the build (the native inputs - after all,
they wouldn't work at runtime in general).

If it works as a regular input, that's even better, so keep it only as regular
input. Unfortunately, that's very seldom.
The propagated input would mean that when you ask for package A in your
profile, you'd get package A and B in your profile, for your own good.
When testing s3cmd, make sure that python2-magic is not in your profile (for
example installed manually via guix package -i python2-magic).
