In what derivation does this happen?

It's used in the generation of the initrd to prevent unwanted dependencies from 
being pulled in (for instance, it would be bad to get a complete copy of Glibc 
in the initrd).  However, the derivations that need nuke-refs have the 
nukeReferences package in their buildInputs, so I don't know why this should fail.
