Tongiht I remembered another point:
Consider this dependency chain:

libA requires libB

if you install libA into ~/.nix-profile/ it will be broken.

If you use the design I've chosen (installing a wrapper passing
NIX_PYTHON_SITES) you'll get libA and libB. Thus it'll just work.

So I still vote for the wrapper.
