This series takes a somewhat different approach from the flake rework done in NixOS/nix. The package.nix here does not provide callPackage options for all the various settings in the build, and instead the other places Nix derivations are used (like internal-api-docs) will .overrideAttrs the normal Nix package derivation. This more closely matches how these things were structured originally, and results in less churn and more atomicity in these changes. In the future, package.nix likely will migrate to have more build options in the callPackage arguments, but we are also planning to rewrite the build system anyway.
