Thanks for the updated patch.

Using `guix gc --references $(./pre-inst-env guix build epic5)`, I
noticed that there is no reference to gdbm.

So, if you install this epic5 package and then do `guix gc`, you will
lose gdbm and I assume that epic5 will stop working.

We need to figure out a way to make sure epic5 keeps that reference.
