Hi,

imagine an upstream tarball includes a nix expression to build and
install the tarball. How can I reuse this nix expression when I
propose the package to NixOS/nixpkgs? By "reuse", I *do not* include
copy/pasting.

If this thing would be supported, this would give us a good reason to
push our nix expressions upstream. This would have at least 2 good
impacts:

- a growing awareness of nix
- a nice way for all developers to build their package
