I don't have any experience of nix packaging, but I work on a couple of programs when Debian applied some broken patches while packaging, then "we" (upstream) get the bug reports. It's annoying as we don't have any way of fixing it, just have to tell users to uninstall the Debian version.
I mean this very famously happened with OpenSSL - Debian started producing the same keypairs for everyone!
