sternenseemann f06714e0a5 foot: use default priority (> ncurses prio in systemPackages)
Why hasn't anybody told me that the higher the priority value the lower
the priority? The meta.priority value I chose for foot had the opposite
effect I intended. Priority 9 (as ncurses has in systemPackages) is just
one step higher in priority than lib.meta.lowPrio. Just using the
default priority (which for buildEnv equates to 5 although nix-env(1)
claims the default priority is 0) gets us the desired result:
foot.terminfo's files will overwrite any symlinks to ncurses.
