Well, I don’t use it atm since I couldn’t find a way to
override pkgs of the module system for a local module and
didn’t want to change the pkgs in my whole configuration
tree.

I use haskellPackages a lot however, and also their override
mechanism which is very similar.
e.g. https://github.com/openlab-aux/vuizvui/blob/master/machines/profpatsch/pkgs.nix#L15
