deduplication does not currently work fully, showing derivations multiple times if they have different underlying values. this can happen by selecting the same derivation twice for two different attributes of a set, using inherit-from (which reduces to the previous), importing nixpkgs twice, or any other number of things. since users already have to deal with duplicates for this reason it won't hurt to add *more* duplicates. the alternative would be to deduplicate fully, which would drop derivations that are currently returned and those pose a regression risk.
