The packages do build on the master branch. Unless they require
something that only exists on core-updates-frozen, we should introduce
new packages on the master branch.

I noticed that analitza doesn't keep a reference to eigen:

------
$ guix gc --references $(./pre-inst-env guix build --no-grafts analitza)
/gnu/store/01b4w3m6mp55y531kyi1g8shh722kwqm-gcc-7.5.0-lib
/gnu/store/a0dn3jlq6862mcngzyw0lkcks066pcam-qtsvg-5.15.2
/gnu/store/a2ngdffc2133m5a211f42pyhypcbr9qa-qtbase-5.15.2
/gnu/store/dk7l3sn0wchyddgl7r2ka80zzwzhfm02-qtdeclarative-5.15.2
/gnu/store/f98v0niqzjm0lfl3zpf7qi538j3kf76j-analitza-21.08.3
/gnu/store/fa6wj5bxkj5ll1d7292a70knmyl7a0cr-glibc-2.31
------

Can you check if it is actually able to use the functionality provided
by eigen at run-time? Do we need to pass some flags to the linker or
something? Is eigen used only while building? Etc...

Similar question for kalgebra regarding kdoctools and ncurses. The built
package does not refer to these inputs.
