'outputs' is an argument to the phase procedure, but as I understand
it, it is only due to historical reasons (G-exps are relatively new-
ish) and because the procedures in (guix build FOO-build-system) have
no other method for determining the outputs.

Might be a good idea to confirm with chief gexpologist ludo though.

Greetings,
