I have question about Nix proper, independent of Nixpkgs or NixOS.

What kinds of attributes are appropriate as passthrough attributes on  
a derivation set,
and which attributes are appropriate to be written out to the store in  
a nix-support file?

Is this just for the sake of registering dependencies, or is there more to it?
