If I understand the whole thing properly, the daemon already scans for references and could register their location in the database, avoiding the need for a potentially brittle in-store format as you highlighted, although that would require a non-trivial change to both the daemon and the database format. In any case, I don't think it's necessary to treat packages in a special way: any derivation can hold derivations and thus be grafted. Best, -- Josselin Poiret
