[Nix-dev] Nix-env bugs

Hello,
it seems nix-env --upgrade is broken. I'm not sure if this was always
like that (my version is 1.0pre26015) but it is certainly clashing
with the man page. It offers downgrades by default and -A doesn't work
at all. For example, nix-env -u \* says upgrading `python-2.7.1' to
`python-2.4.6' (that is very old python!). Viric confirmed this on
IRC.

If noone has a better idea, I could bisect the fault and find the
affecting patch (thanks to git).
