The package modules could be split and reorganised a bit to roughly
follow the derivation DAG, if that's what you mean (*)? Then the "guix"
package would depend on less -> compute-guix-derivation etc has less to
do, also good for lowering "guix $do_something" memory footprint.
Seems orthogonal to my proposal. I guess we could eventually do both?
