Motivation for this change

Otherwise, it is very hard to figure out what version of dropbox we're actualy running.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • 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 nix-review --run "nix-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.

On master, we get

/nix/store/b7pv3fvyxvlk4wgi1vbwfli5l876b79l-dropbox

but with this change we get a more conventional package name:

/nix/store/x8c9dp6ibyxs2m869ajc0yd8s8q74885-dropbox-81.4.195

Oh, I see doing this renames the binary in $PATH to dropbox-81.4.195 as well, which is not ideal.
