I agree with this change, but I think we should put it in the stdenv branch
since we'll be merging that branch in a few days anyway.  So I've reverted it
for now.

P.S. with changes like this happening on a nearly daily basis now, the Nixpkgs
channel seems to be permanently lagging behind the trunk, making it rather
difficult to upgrade NixOS.  And our poor buildfarm doesn't have the resources
to do full rebuilds of three Nixpkgs branches (trunk, stdenv, libpng15).  It's
clearly time for a different model.  For one, the Nixpkgs channel shouldn't be
auto-updated to a revision until Hydra has finished all builds for that revision.
