“r-minimal” retains no reference to “which” |

R provides a function “Sys.which”, which embeds the full path to “which”
at configure time. The path it embeds is that of “which” *before*
grafts.
The final package does not retain any reference to the “which” package,
however. What’s worse: this cannot be fixed by adding “which” to the
environment, as “Sys.which” holds a reference to the ungrafted “which”
package.
This is a problem in containers, where the ungrafted “which” will not be
available even when the “which” package is added to the container.
It may also be a security problem, because R references an ungrafted
package.
