Not really what I want to know:

# guix refresh --list-dependent inkscape
Building the following 5 packages would ensure 10 dependent packages
are rebuilt: frescobaldi-2.19.0 solfege-3.22.2 simple-scan-3.19.91
termite-11 hydra-20150407.4c0e3e4

None of those are installed, but inkscape is pulled in by something
which I want to know

Is there no other way to get that information ?
