Well yes it may reduce the closure size of the package (run `guix size
sudo`) to get it.

It can also fix cross-compilation. Because when cross-compiling, if
groff needs to be run at build-time, it needs to be for the native
architecture and not the target one.

You can check it by running `guix build --target=aarch64-linux-gnu sudo`
for instance.

Thanks,
