coqPackages_8_7.QuickChick won't build since Coq 8.7.0 is not yet supported
upstream.
Motivation for this change
I'm working upstream on the port of QuickChick to Coq 8.7.0, and I don't see how a Coq 8.7.0 derivation for QuickChick could be ready before that is done. In fact, even some dependencies don't build (it would require #30690).
I'm a proud Nix newbie, so I don't know what the usual practice is, but I find it strange to push untested (and broken) packages that don't even rely on a released version. Sorry to moan, but as an upstream author, I'm not happy to see my software packaged in such state.
