Consider the following operating system declaration:

Attachment: robot-framework-system.scm
Description: Binary data

$ guix size `guix system build robot-framework-system.scm`

gives:

store item                                                       total    self
/gnu/store/f9fy1b2yf1qxy523732r7z34ymwqz64b-linux-libre-5.1        241.5

[...]

total: 1106.3 MiB

But,

$ guix size `guix system --no-grafts build robot-framework-system.scm`

store item                                                       total    self
/gnu/store/f9fy1b2yf1qxy523732r7z34ymwqz64b-linux-libre-5.1        241.5   
241.5  28.4%
/gnu/store/1lcniyxkxkh8g73zvh2gpbccvl6ggna7-locale-2.28             91.8    
91.8  10.8%
/gnu/store/b7fqhszxl02g6pfm3vw6b3cjz472qrly-python-3.7.0           182.8    
74.6   8.8%
/gnu/store/ybglr7nfs8v9kpnm8vf4drg3gafnvd15-guile-static-stripped-2.2.4    45.9 
   45.9   5.4%
total: 851.2 MiB

Conclusion: the size of grafts is added multiple times even though they
should be very light on disk usage given that they are mostly hard links
to the original, ungrafted output.
