I do not use nix-env much, most of the time I install packages via extraPackages in configuration.nix (I use NixOS). Putting files in share/ means they will appear in /var/run/current-system/sw/share, so I can make symlink pointing at /var/run/current-system/sw/share/bzrtools and put it in ~/.bazaar/plugins
