Describe the bug
Pinentry is causing more rebuilds than necessary because it depends on many desktop environments for apparently no good reason.
The unnecessary dependencies also make the package more fragile, as observed in #124753
Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
pinentry-gnome
This applies to all combinations of variants.
Expected behavior
Distinct derivations for each variant cause no unnecessary derivation dependencies and therefore no unnecessary rebuilds.
The problem in #124753 is fixed.
Screenshots
Additional context
This is not about the (byte) size of an output closure, but rather about rebuilding too often and depending on too many other packages.
The problem was introduced with cb0adc1
