According to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78235, aws-sdk-cpp and aws-crt-cpp are only required for S3 support and are not essential for Nix. Thus, they should be listed as optional dependencies instead of normal dependencies, especially since aws-sdk-cpp is over 500MB.

Was implemented in  FS#78235 . Related  FS#66872 . The requirement is in `/usr/lib/libnixstore.so'...unsure if this can be made optional or not?

Can’t be made optional unless upstream perform the requisite checks upon attempting to load the shared libraries.
