Motivation for this change

This change is needed because the order of profiles correlate to the
order in PATH, therefore /etc/profiles/per-user/$USER always appeared
after the system packages directories.

Resolves nix-community/home-manager#550.

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.

This change is needed because the order of profiles correlate to the
order in PATH, therefore "/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER" always appeared
after the system packages directories.

In my opinion, I think it should.. Seems to me like a bug, which was existant since the beginning.
