Yes, except for .outputUnspecified attribute.

Yes, you have to be explicit if you want such specific things. Note that
the library (and headers etc.) *are* available in nix-shell and for
mkDerivation builds if a package (e.g. mariadb.client) is put into build
inputs.

mariadb is an unsplit full version. I think that "compat hack" of mine
never fully worked (but it should work for build inputs usage).
