Same here…

In theory it could be useful for ‘guix build’, since it’s a “low level”
tool and people using it may want to be able to distinguish between
grafted and non-grafted results.
But honestly, I think changing ‘--dry-run’ to do ‘--dry-run --no-grafts’
would be fine, and probably better than the current situation.
Thoughts?
