        Attributes to add to the returned derivations,
        which are not necessarily part of the build.

        This is a bit like doing `drv // { myAttr = true; }` (which would be lost by `overrideAttrs`).
        It does not change the actual derivation, but adds the attribute nonetheless, so that
        consumers of what would be `drv` have more information.

        Derivation that runs the test as its "build" process.

        This implies that NixOS tests run isolated from the network, making them
        more dependable.
