Sorry for the non-descriptive title. It appears that having non-default
outputs in the profile always causes a new profile generation even if
the package derivations themselves don't change. Here is an example:

$ guix package -u
The following packages will be upgraded:
bind:utils 9.10.4-P4 → 9.10.4-P4 /gnu/store/ypv8jppwn3dvhnkrmibw3p2h35cm30ij-bind-9.10.4-P4-utils
git:send-email 2.11.0 → 2.11.0 /gnu/store/xnm8msrlh4ac9bxzvf9pgai8xnjjkvwj-git-2.11.0-send-email
transmission:gui 2.92 → 2.92 /gnu/store/x2q22mfakkkf7nr68nfsxcvci4psz0vi-transmission-2.92-gui

The following derivations will be built:

/gnu/store/60r69w2jfq3pwaijwh3qrpwvzfbhg70p-ca-certificate-bundle.drv
49 packages in profile

Those packages already were at the latest versions and a new empty
generation is created. Running the same command again:

$ guix package -u
The following packages will be upgraded:
transmission:gui 2.92 → 2.92 /gnu/store/x2q22mfakkkf7nr68nfsxcvci4psz0vi-transmission-2.92-gui
git:send-email 2.11.0 → 2.11.0 /gnu/store/xnm8msrlh4ac9bxzvf9pgai8xnjjkvwj-git-2.11.0-send-email
bind:utils 9.10.4-P4 → 9.10.4-P4 /gnu/store/ypv8jppwn3dvhnkrmibw3p2h35cm30ij-bind-9.10.4-P4-utils

49 packages in profile

Output of "guix package --list-generations":

[...lots of generations...]

Generation 71 Dec 02 2016 17:37:47

Generation 72 Dec 02 2016 17:46:21 (current)

Diffing the profile derivations only shows changes to
ca-certificate-bundle.drv, gtk-icon-themes.drv, fonts-dir.drv,
gtk-im-modules.drv, info-dir.drv, xdg-mime-database.drv, the profiles
themselves, and the profile-builder. Although the order is different.

Notice how the order was reversed. :-)

This is enough to create a new generation (the order of packages in the
manifest matters because it changes the way collisions are resolved, if
any.)

The reverse is unintended, but I suspect it has nothing to do with
multiple-output packages.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
