I think the aforementioned issue is different: it's about store paths
that are written within Common Lisp code, which only happens here for
the next-gtk-webkit executable. This is not related to SQLite or
others, which are visible to the reference scanner.
I don't understand how grafting could cause a problem: next-1.3.1-lib
would still be present, right?

If sqlite vanishes from the closure, it means the Next does not need
it. Why would it be a problem then?
