Nix itself considers a build-time dependency merely something that should
previously be built and accessible at build time—packages themselves are
on their own to perform any additional setup. In most cases, that is fine,
and the downstream derivation can deal with it's own dependencies. But for a

few common tasks, that would result in almost every package doing the same
sort of setup work---depending not on the package itself, but entirely on
which dependencies were used.
