In practice, this is still not a blocker, because extra inputs for
search paths affect neither the purity nor the union-build much.

Hyrum's Law might also come in play here. Thus an alternative would
not be sharing search paths, but making those search paths themselves a
part of manifests. However, while either would be doable if we
bikeshed enough, having a known bug persist while we solve an important
other issue is imho preferable to waiting until we all agree about
what's to be done with it.
