We cannot import the packages from all of these three packages sets into
the global namespace, because they are indistinguishable. For example:
$ nix-env -qaP \* | grep pylint
pypyPackages.pylint pylint-0.26.0
python33Packages.pylint pylint-0.26.0
python27Packages.pylint pylint-0.26.0
When someone tries to install pylint by running "nix-env -i pylint",
then it's impossible to tell which one of these three versions was
chosen.
I can think of two ways to remedy this problem with recurseIntoAttrs:
1) Bake the name of the Python interpreter into every package's name,
i.e. offer "python27-pylint", "python33-pylint", and so on.
2) Ensure that all non-default package sets mark all their packages
'lowPrio' to unsure that the choice during installation is
deterministic.
OfflineIMAP is primarily a program/tool, not a python module (although
it installs a python module too, for those who want to poke at its
internals).
Now we can install it with "nix-env -i offlineimap" instead of
"nix-env -i python2.7-offlineimap".
Wheezy has been released on June 15th and on all mirrors the SHA256 hash
of Packages.bz2 has changed to reflect the new release, so let's update.
Here is the release announcement from Debian:

It also seems that the versioning scheme has changed in version 7.x, so
they seem to have switched to a two digit versioning scheme. This means,
that the attribute name "debian70..." should really be something like
"debian7...", but I'm keeping the attribute as-is to not break
references.

We already have mini_httpd, but IMHO it is *too* minimal as in not very
flexible in configuration (for example, I haven't found any runtime
configuration for disabling logging), so that's why I decided to add
thttpd, which serves quite well as an ad-hoc HTTPd.

This is needed in order to prevent services from starting while
populating the image with the contents of the .deb files. The procedure
used here is exactly the same as used in debootstrap.
