All approaches listed here share common pitfall - you have to download not only latest Nixpkgs tarball, but whole new stdenv and co to use that 1 package.
But often cherry-picking that new package and deps to local Nixpkgs is the only thing required, without all of that updated stdenv. I see replaceRuntimeDependencies and nbp's approache for quickfix packages as a step toward nice solution to this problem. But haven't used them yet.
