The TODO file contains:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** extend ‘propagated-build-inputs’ with support for multiple outputs

#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
  (outputs '("out" "include"))
  (propagated-build-inputs
    `(((("i1" ,p1 "o1")
        ("i2" ,p2))
       => "include")
      ("i3" ,p3)))
#+END_SRC
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/TODO#n37>

which seems a direction the discussion currently takes.  Maybe it could
be worth to dig the history and resume this previous discussion.

Cheers,
