Best ditch the d-word; it's too ambiguous to be useful, as 
illustrated by this thread.

If by ‘explicit dependencies’ you mean all explicitly listed 
inputs then none of the suggested commands so far actually do what 
you're asking for, which is to show nothing for, e.g., the ‘hello’ 
package.

I don't think there's a CLI command to do so, but it's quite easy 
to recurse over all (package-{,native-,propagated-}inputs pkg) 
using ‘guix repl’ if you know some Scheme.  What's your use case 
here?

Perhaps it's good enough to warrant ‘guix refresh 
--list-transitive-inputs’ (to avoid philosophical discussions 
about what constitutes a graph :-).

Kind regards,
