Ah, explanation: this makes the callPackage function also consider the 
*inside* of cinnamon attrset when supplying parameters.
 
There are other ways, but this seems to have proven good e.g. for gnome.

Thanks,

Can I do something like this then :

cinnamon = recurseIntoAttrs rec{
    callPackage=pkgs.newScope pkgs.cinnamon;
    inherit (gnome) gnome-common ; 
    cinnamon-desktop = callPackage ../desktops/cinnamon/cinnamon-desktop.nix { } ;
    cinnamon-settings-daemon = callPackage ../desktops/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings-daemon.nix{ };
 };

Because almost every package except cjs depends on gnome-common
