This option allows you to add additional packages to the system
path. These packages are automatically available to all users,
and they are automatically updated every time you rebuild the
system configuration. (The latter is the main difference with
installing them in the default profile,
<filename>/nix/var/nix/profiles/default</filename>. The value
of this option must be a function that returns a list of
packages. The function will be called with the Nix Packages
collection as its argument for convenience.

There are some times when you want really small system for specific

to create a system with empty path - only extraPackages will be
included.
