I belive you, but just for my curiosity, what will break if we download
substitute (nar, almost tar archive) and extract it not in /nix, but in
/var/nix?
In mean time, I took a look at your debianization. Great work. One
question:
* You install developer stuff (headers, pkg-config files) in nix
package. It is not needed for mere user, so I believe you should
make three binary packages -- nix, libnix<SONAME> and libnix-dev.
By the way, who are users of nix development files?
