build environment, because leksah uses ghc internal features, such
depends on your build env such as ghc version AFAIK.

Of course if you use the same set of libraries always, installing it
into your default profile may be more convenient.

Maybe try both, and keep using what works best for you.

At this point in time I also want to remind that there is a second way
for install haskell packages using nixpkgs
