I have an update to current Nixpkgs staging-next in the work, that
should be ready to commit as soon as the staging cycle completes and
Nixpkgs unstable updates.  staging-next currently contains a lot of
fixes that aren't in unstable, so by waiting a week or so for it we can
avoid the need for a lot of downstream workarounds.  I'll post the patch
soon so you can try it out in advance, if you want.  (Eventually we need
to not be going months without updating, but while it's been so long I
think waiting an extra week or so is okay, and I promise the gap was
because other good things were happening — I just can't say what they
might have been yet. ;))  So with that in mind I will pass on the update
patches, but I'll still try to go through and review, because I
think there's educational value to that.
