Thanks for the heads up. I kind of hoped somebody who did would see this
mail.

Unfortunately, no luck.

error: selector '.*libossp_uuid.*' matches no derivations

This phrasebook looked promising, but what it explains is how to use
Debian when you know Nix and how to use Nix when you know Debian.

What I need is something that explains how to use Nix on Debian when all
you have are documentations about Nix not on Debian.

Oh, sorry, I should have been more specific: I would like binary
packages.

Thanks for the pointers, even if they do not help.
