Ok, no, thanks. This should work on all distributions with their package managers instead of needing a separate layer. The approach to first package it and then write addons is a bit weird.
You can make Deb and rpm from nix packages supposedly.

Sticking to reproduceable builds also makes sense for development and troubleshooting, less variables to run down.
