In practice, it is sometimes still necessary to declare certain dependencies explicitly, if they are to be preserved in the build result's closure.
This depends on the specifics of the software to build and run.
For example, Java programs are compressed after compilation, which obfuscates any store paths they may refer to and prevents Nix from automatically detecting them.
