[Nix-dev] npm packages broken

Sadly, I always build npm packages locally with a user created for the app.
Npm2nix is not usable yet afaik (I'd love to be wrong).

Last I saw, someone was proposing for it to piggyback on `npm shrinkwrap`,
which I think would be the way to go for determining version numbers. Worst
case, the result could be used to pre-populate an npm cache and to run npm
in a sandbox for building (possibly step by step so we can store all
modules separately).
