The problem: activationScripts (in my use case, deps) cannot be
overriden because merging of types.unspecified depends on the module
evaluation order.

types.unspecified.merge [] [ { value = { text = "a"; dep = "b"; }; } { value = { dep = "c"; }; } ]
{ dep = "c"; text = "a"; }

The fix: give it a good type that handles merging in the typical way!

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
