Actually, there are tests that most likely relied on the previous
behavior and are now failing in
tests/{derivations,nar,publish,pypi,store}.scm.  We’ll have to look at
each one to make sure they are indeed making the wrong assumption and to
fix them.

What about reverting the change first so we can do that without
pressure and come up with a self-contained patch?
